<p>The first study examined the short-term effects of vaping and cigarette smoking and compared them with matched peers who did not use nicotine in any form. Both e-cigarette and combustible cigarette users had greater increases in blood pressure, heart rate and blood vessel constriction, immediately after vaping or smoking, compared to people who did not use any nicotine. They also performed significantly worse on treadmill stress tests that assess heart disease risk which they took 90 minutes after they vaped or smoked.</p>
<p>The findings are especially concerning because the negative impact on cardiovascular function among the people who vaped was similar to that of people who used combustible cigarettes, even though those who vaped were much younger (27.4 years vs 42 years) and had vaped for nearly 20 years less than the smokers (average 4.1 years vaping vs 23 years smoking). "People should know that e-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes contain addictive nicotine and toxic chemicals that may have adverse effects on their cardiovascular system and their overall health," said the study author.</p>
