🚨 Attention vape users and ex-smokers! 🚨
If you thought switching to e-cigarettes was the safer choice, think again. A new study has sent shockwaves through the vaping community by linking e-cigarette use with a significantly higher risk of heart attacks and strokes, especially among those who previously smoked regular cigarettes.
📊 The research pulled together data from 12 large studies and found that:
– Vapers have a 1.53 times higher risk of heart attacks than non-users.
– Ex-smokers who vape face over double the risk of heart attacks as those who have never vaped.
– The stroke risk is also elevated at 1.73 times higher for former smokers who vape compared to non-users.
While e-cigarettes might not expose users to the same chemicals as traditional cigarettes, they are far from risk-free. With 5.5 million Brits vaping today, these findings are a wake-up call for many who believed vapes were a harmless alternative.
👩🔬 More research is needed, but this study raises critical questions about how ‘safe’ vaping really is. For those who thought their nicotine fix came without consequences, it might be time to rethink.
