Study Links Vaping to 20% Higher Risk of Heart Failure

A new study from the American College of Cardiology reveals that e-cigarette users have a 19% increased risk of developing heart failure, particularly preserved ejection fraction heart failure. The study, which analyzed 175,667 US adults, adds to concerns about the negative health effects of vaping and suggests that e-cigarettes are not a safer alternative to smoking. Lead author Dr. Yakubu Bene-Alhasan emphasizes the need for further investigation, especially given the prevalence of vaping among younger generations, and discourages using vaping as a tool to quit smoking.
