Users of e-cigarettes containing nicotine face a high risk of heart attack and stroke in later life, a new study shows. The cigarettes lead to stiffens of arteries and have cancer-causing agents, according to findings released last week.
The study adds that e-cigarettes shouldn’t be marketed as a safe alternative to conventional cigarettes. The electronic device is increasingly gaining popularity around the world, particularly among young people. It functions by heating flavoured liquid, which often contains nicotine, into a vapour that is inhaled much like traditional cigarettes.
