Scientist admits he wouldn't want family to vape because of health dangers

People who use e-cigarettes are more likely to have heart problems than those who don’t, says a study released on Thursday in the US.

The rate of heart attacks among those who vape was 34 per cent higher than among those who don’t, once corrections were made for risk factors such as age, gender, body mass index, cholesterol level, blood pressure and tobacco use. E-cigarette users were 25 per cent more likely to have coronary artery disease and 55 per cent more likely to suffer from depression or anxiety, the study says.Assistant professor at the University of Kansas School of Medicine Mohinder Vindhyal said: ‘Until now, little has been known about cardiovascular events relative to e-cigarette use.

‘These data are a real wake-up call and should prompt more action and awareness about the dangers of e-cigarettes.’He added: ‘I wouldn’t want any of my patients nor my family members to vape.’Studies of people who vape are relatively new because the devices only came onto the US market in the last decade or so.

US health authorities are alarmed by the rise in popularity of e-cigarettes, battery-powered devices which enable users to inhale nicotine liquids that are often fruit flavoured.
