Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death associated with smoking cigarettes. But as use of e-cigarettes ( vaping ) becomes more popular, including as a way to cut back on cigarettes, little is known about its effect on cardiovascular health.
Now, a new Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) study, published in the journal
Circulation, finds that vaping may not cut risk of cardiovascular disease in the way that most adults use them in combination with cigarettes. Dual use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes appears to be as harmful to cardiovascular health as exclusive cigarette smoking, says study lead author Dr. Andrew Stokes, assistant professor of global health at BUSPH.
