E-Cigarettes and Heart Health: What the Latest Science Says
Growing scientific evidence shows that chemicals in e-cigarettes and their aerosol can harm heart health, including risks of irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest, and development of heart disease. The American Heart Association emphasizes that everyone should be aware of these potential cardiovascular harms.
Yes, growing scientific evidence shows that several chemicals found in e-cigarettes and produced when used as intended may harm heart health, including risks of irregular heartbeat and cardiac arrest.
E-cigarette aerosol often contains a mix of chemicals, additives, sweeteners, and flavoring agents, including substances the FDA classifies as harmful or potentially harmful, such as formaldehyde and heavy metals.
Inhaling e-cigarette aerosol may contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, damage to blood vessel function, and other conditions that can lead to the development of heart disease.
The study found that synthetic cooling chemicals used in some e-cigarettes may disrupt heart rhythm, pointing to potential risks such as irregular heartbeat and cardiac arrest.
People who use e-cigarettes are exposed to chemicals that can harm the heart and blood vessels. The American Heart Association says everyone should be aware of the potential cardiovascular harms.
The American Heart Association says that as increasing numbers of e-cigarettes and other newer nicotine products are introduced, we are learning more about their health threats, and people should be aware of the scientific evidence pointing to potential cardiovascular harms.
No, e-cigarettes are not harmless. They often contain toxic substances linked to cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer-related health risks, and nicotine itself can damage the heart and other vital organs.
