At Executive Health, we often meet customers who ask about the risks of vaping, not least because they are worried about their teenage children starting.
New research results from the major cardiology conference in Madrid are now being presented.
No one has really believed that vaping is harmless – but the new studies show something more worrying: young people are not only exposed to nicotine addiction, their cardiovascular systems can also be directly damaged.
The effects seen include:
Higher heart rate, changes in blood pressure and stiffer arteries – changes that can become permanent and increase the risk of stroke, arrhythmias and heart problems later in life.
In addition, research shows that:
1. Higher nicotine levels in e-cigarettes can lead to addiction and affect brain development in teens.
2. Vaping stresses the cardiovascular system: heart rate increases, blood pressure rises, arteries can stiffen.
3. Liquids that are heated can release harmful substances such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde – known for their carcinogenic and inflammatory effects.
Bottom line:
Vaping is not a "less dangerous option" for young people – it's a real health risk.
