“Using e-cigarettes damages the arteries and blood vessel function much like smoking traditional cigarettes, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access journal of the American Heart Association, and funded through the Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science of the American Heart Association.”
𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: Of 400+ people, the “study” only used “36 e-cigarette users and 52 dual users who smoke combustible cigarettes and use e-cigarettes”. All the e-cigarette users were also previously smokers: “Combustible cigarette smokers and dual users were older than non-smokers and e-cigarette users, while e-cigarette users were more likely to be younger, male and white. All e-cigarette users were former smokers of traditional cigarettes.” (i.e. smoking likely already caused the damaged before they switched to vaping — yet the study attributes vaping to be the cause). The entire study bases their headline conclusion on 36 vapers (who previously smoked), out of 400 people (of which over 75% are or were smokers). They didn’t use any vapers that were not previously smokers when reaching their conclusions.
