E-cigarette users at higher risk of heart attack<\/h1>\n

A new study has found that smoking an e-cigarette on a regular basis could double the risk of a\u00a0heart attack<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to a new analysis of a survey of nearly 70,000 people<\/strong>, led by researchers at UC San Francisco, the dual use of e-cigarettes<\/strong> and conventional cigarettes appears to be more dangerous than using either product alone.
\nThe study also found that the risks compound, so that daily use of both e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes raises the\u00a0heart attack<\/strong>\u00a0risk five-fold in comparison to the people who don’t use either product.
\nSenior author Stanton Glantz said, “Most adults who use e-cigarettes continue to smoke cigarettes. While people may think they are reducing their health risks, we found that the\u00a0heart attack\u00a0risk of e-cigarettes adds to the risk of smoking cigarettes.”
\nHowever, the researchers also reported some good news if smokers quit. “The risk of\u00a0heart attack\u00a0starts to drop immediately after you stop smoking. Our results suggest the same is true when they stop using e-cigarettes,” said Glantz.
\nElectronic cigarettes typically deliver an aerosol of nicotine and other flavours by heating a liquid and are promoted as a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes, which generate the nicotine aerosol by burning tobacco.
\nThe researchers found that the total odds of having a\u00a0heart attack\u00a0<\/strong>were about the same for those who continued to smoke cigarettes daily as those who switched to daily e-cigarette use. For those who used both products daily, the odds of having had a\u00a0heart attack\u00a0were 4.6 times that of people who had never used either product. The authors also said that while there was a ‘lasting effect’ associated with being a former smoker, there was not a significant increase in myocardial infarction risk for former or (sometimes) e-cigarette users.
\nThis is the first study to examine the relationship between e-cigarette<\/a> use and\u00a0heart attacks and begins to fill the understanding of the effects of e-cigarettes on long-term health.
\nThe full findings are present in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
