Vaping
We could say that electronic cigarettes are safer than real ones, but they are really far from harmless. Electronic cigarettes contain chemicals such as acetone and formaldehyde that can affect blood pressure regulation, speed the formation of plaque in the arteries and promote blood clots.
“E-cigarettes aren’t well regulated, says Dr. Bauman, so it’s not easy to know what other toxins they might be hiding. Plus, they contain nicotine. ‘Nicotine is a stimulant,’ she says, ‘so we know it can increase heart rate and blood pressure.’”
