Are E-Cigarettes Safe For Your Heart?
While e cigarettes have become more and more popular these days, there are still questions about the safety of these nicotine devices. Since they are so new, and no long-term testing has been conducted on their repeated use, the jury is still out on whether e cigarettes can be defined as safe. But considering there are only four ingredients in e cigs, and there is no tar and tobacco like you find in regular cigarettes and no carcinogens, one can definitely call e cigs safer than their traditional counterparts.
Since you aren’t inhaling that thick, black smoke like in traditional cigarettes, and instead only inhaling a water vapor, you could say that electronic cigarettes are less damaging to the lungs than regular smokes. But what about the effect of e cigs on the heart?
I recently stumbled across an article that set out to answer that question. Konstantinos Farsalinos, MD, a researched at the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens, Greece, has this to say about e cigs:
“Considering the hazards associated with cigarette smoking, currently available data suggest that electronic cigarettes are far less harmful, and substituting tobacco with electronic cigarettes may be beneficial to health.”
It is acknowledged that the sample size was small and the exposure time was too brief for this to be deemed a definitive study on the effects of e cigarettes, but the positive news is better than nothing.
In this study, they monitored the heart function of twenty daily smokers before and after they smoked one tobacco cigarette, and then compared those results to that of twenty-two e cigarette users before and after they used an e cig for seven minutes. All participants were in good health and ranged in age from 25 to 45 years old.
What they found was that heart functioning worsened in the individuals that smoked a traditional cigarette, increasing their blood pressure and their heart rate. Only a slight increase in blood pressure was found in the e cigarette users.
