Researchers have identified acute effects of cigarette and e-cigarette smoking on vascular function, even without nicotine.
Radiological Society of North AmericaNov 25 2024 The results of the ongoing research are being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America .
Marianne Nabbout, M.D., study lead author, radiology resident, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock A total of 31 healthy smokers and vapers ranging in age from 21 to 49 years have been included to date. In three separate sessions, study participants underwent two MRI exams, one before and one after each of the following smoking/vaping episodes: tobacco cigarette, e-cigarette aerosol with nicotine and e-cigarette aerosol without nicotine.
The decrease in vascular function was most pronounced after inhalation of e-cigarettes containing nicotine, followed by e-cigarettes without nicotine.
