Don’t underestimate their damage.
Experts warn that the use of e-cigarettes may increase the risk of heart attack. According to scientists, within 5 minutes after use electronic cigarette arteries become narrow and remain in this state for hours. Blood vessels also become less able to expand, what is needed to lower blood pressure. As you know, the narrowing of the arteries can lead to heart attacks or stroke.
During the tests specialists from West Virginia University evaluated the diameter and stiffness of the arteries in mice after short-and long-term effects of flavored electronic cigarettes. Short-term exposure was defined as 5 minutes, while long-term exposure was 20 hours a week for eight months.
The results showed that the diameter of the arteries in mice is reduced by 30% in one hour short term effects of vapor cigarettes. Also decreases the ability of arteries to expand and, consequently, the possibility of lowering blood pressure. Prolonged exposure to electronic cigarettes arteries of rodents have become twice as hard, than mice which were not given cigarettes.
The obtained data once again confirm that e-cigarettes cannot be considered safe, they cause serious consequences to health, doctors stress.
