Vaping May Be More Dangerous Than Previously Thought When e-cigarettes first hit<br />the market, they targeted <br />adults who were trying <br />to quit smoking. In more recent years,<br />the e-cigarette market <br />has become appealing to<br />younger nonsmokers. Maciej Goniewicz, a researcher<br />from Roswell Park Comprehensive<br />Cancer Center, believes e-cigarettes<br />may act as a gateway to tobacco use. Maciej Goniewicz, via Vox E-cigarettes may also cause<br />some concerning health issues. They contain nicotine,<br />which increases adrenaline<br />circulation and raises blood pressure. Several observational studies<br />have found a link between<br />e-cigarette use and an increased<br />risk of heart attack and stroke. They also emit microscopic particles,<br />such as metal, that can become<br />lodged in the lungs and absorbed<br />into the body’s circulatory system. Researchers have linked exposure<br />to small particles to cardiovascular<br />issues such as heart attacks and<br />high blood pressure. The vapor from e-cigarettes<br />can also irritate and damage<br />the lungs, causing wheezing<br />and other respiratory symptoms.
