Smoking cigarettes has long been established as a major cause of heart disease deaths; now, there's growing evidence that electronic cigarettes may hurt the heart, too.

Normally, blood flow increases during exercise. This was predictably observed in the nonsmoker group, using a type of ultrasound imaging called myocardial contrast echocardiogram.during exercise, which was also observed in the study. After exercise, the study found, blood flow returned to normal in smoking participants.

"It’s evidence that there’s something wrong with the blood flow regulation in smokers and maybe even more so in e-cigarette smokers," said study author Dr. Florian Rader, medical director of the Human Physiology Laboratory and assistant director of the Noninvasive Laboratory at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Well what do you know, the alternative to taking toxic chemicals into your body is taking other toxic chemicals into your body and its harming you! shocker

Cigarettes are legal, but causes death. Weed is ilegal (in some states and countries) but never heard of a recorded death or illness.

Why do we tolerate “cancer sticks?”

The only thing people need inhale is AIR! Anything else is not good for your lungs, heart, etc. Getting a 'buzz' is not worth it.

Who would've thought that burning chemicals and inhaling them would be bad for your health. 🤔

'May' means there is no proof. Propaganda here folks.

Ya, even nicotine gum hurts the heart. All part of being a stimulant. What ecigs WONT do is coat your insides w/ tar

They're always coming up up with something new that's bad for the heart, pretty soon they're gonna tell ya so is sex, ha

All forms of smoking are suicide.

30-some people die and they ban vaping. 480,000 people die annually from cigarettes and they remain fully legal. Gee...I wonder if Big Tobacco still has any influence.

Big tobacco is putting alot of money to push propaganda about vaping

They have no clue how bad that shit is. Hasn’t been long enough for them to see the complete toll they take on a human body.

It’s okay. Trump’s gonna ban it.

Smoking, of any kind - including vaping, is absolutely disgusting.
