electronic smoke has recently become a hot spot of research. Even a small amount of smoke inhalation can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, a new Swedish study suggests.
researchers in Swedish media reported that researchers in Sweden's Dan de lad hospital had previously found that inhaling only 10 electronic cigarettes could cause signs of damage to the blood vessels. In this study, they further studied the effects of inhaling 30 electronic cigarettes on healthy people. "We see poor vascular elasticity and poor vascular elasticity may cause heart disease and stroke," said Magnus Rudbeck, a doctor in the Swedish Dan lad hospital,
. Researchers say that nicotine in electronic cigarettes may make blood vessels less flexible.
electronic smoke consists mainly of a battery, a heating evaporator and a smoke tube with a smoke liquid, which contains a certain amount of nicotine, and many of the tobacco products will be used to mimic the proportion of nicotine in cigarettes. When the power supply is used, the smoke can volatilize and form smog, so as to achieve the effect of "smoother cloud".
Swedish researchers say people who smoke Electronic Cigarettes Smoke 250 to 300 cigarettes a day, and the current sales of electronic cigarettes are unregulated in Sweden, which makes researchers worried. Lund Beck said that their research shows that even small and medium doses of electronic cigarettes still have a significant impact, and people who smoke in real life will be more affected.
another preliminary study showed that electronic cigarette also causes airway constriction and breathing difficulties. The impact of
on the health of electronic cigarettes is controversial. Different countries have different views on regulatory health. For example, the British drug and health care agency has approved some of the electronic tobacco products to be sold as a smoking cessation tool, while a 2016 report by the US government said that young people used electronic cigarettes to become "public health threats" in the United States. The WHO said in the report that there is no sufficient evidence to prove that electronic cigarettes help to quit smoking, and smokers can only protect their health to the greatest extent only by completely abstinence of nicotine.
