New Study Shows Vaping Increases Risk of Heart Failure
A new study has found that vaping significantly increases the risk of developing heart failure, with e-cigarette users nearly 20% more likely to develop the condition. The research, which tracked 175,000 US adults over four years, revealed a link between e-cigarette use and an increased risk of heart failure, particularly the type with preserved ejection fraction.
Experts are particularly concerned about the growing number of young people turning to vaping and the potential health consequences, especially in relation to heart health. Previous research has also shown that e-cigarettes can have similar cardiovascular effects as smoking, such as increased blood pressure and heart rate.
In response to the rising popularity of vaping among young people, the Government has introduced a bill aimed at restricting vape flavors and packaging that are marketed to children. Shockingly, one in five children have illegally tried vaping.
The British Heart Foundation warns that vaping is not harmless and urges those concerned about heart health to consider quitting. It is clear that more research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of vaping on heart health, but in the meantime, it is important for individuals to be aware of the potential risks associated with e-cigarette use.
