A month-long study on smokers suggests vaping could reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
So they monitored people's blood vessels a month after they were switched to e-cigarettes on the trial.
They focused on how blood vessels expand when a wave of blood rushes through, by measuring"flow-mediated dilation". The more the blood vessels are able to expand the healthier they are. Flow-mediate dilation scores have been closely linked to the long-term risk of heart attacks and stroke.Healthy non-smokers had a score of 7.7%But those who switched to nicotine e-cigarettes for a month had a score of 6.7%"They're not quite normal, but their vascular function improved quite significantly, just within a month," said one of the researchers, Professor Jacob George.
The study is too short to fully establish whether or not this improvement could be sustained in the long-term or if vaping would definitely save lives.Prof George added:"The key take-home is these devices are not completely safe and should not be tried by non-smokers or children.
