This new study which comes to us from Belgium could well reassure many smokers on the e-cigarette. Indeed, according to Dr. Martin Chaumont, a cardiology assistant at Erasme Hospital, vaping, if it is done without nicotine, does not seem to have any harmful effect on the cardiovascular system of a healthy subject.
A NEGLIGIBLE IMPACT ON THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Vaping, if done without nicotine, does not seem to have any damaging effect on the cardiovascular system of a healthy subject, according to a study conducted by the Dr. Martin Chaumont, cardiology assistant at Erasme Hospital and researcher at the Erasme Fund.
« We observed that with nicotine-free vaping, even very intense, the parameters of the hearts and vessels of the people tested did not change at all, even though they were very sensitive parameters.“, Points out Dr Martin Chaumont. This is reassuring news, which highlights the interest in abandoning the classic cigarette for its electronic version, as part of a smoking cessation process.
People who switch to e-cigarettes in order to quit smoking tend, as they wean themselves off tobacco, to decrease the amount of nicotine contained in their vaping liquid. By this decrease, often " very fast According to the researcher, they are thus moving towards vaping which seems to have only a negligible health impact on their cardiovascular system, unlike cigarettes, whose toxicity is widely known.
E-CIGARETTE COULD INDUCE PULMONARY INFLAMMATION 
In contrast, the study conducted found that intense vaping, whether with or without nicotine, " seems to induce pulmonary inflammation with slight disturbances in the passage of oxygen to the blood ”. “This observation still needs to be substantiated“, Insists Martin Chaumont,“ but it shows that it is necessary to continue to study this product, because it is probably not entirely neutral In all its aspects. " There is still a good way to quit smoking, but our tests suggest that it may need to be offered more to some patients."
According to possible new studies, one could for example imagine that it is not ideal for those who suffer from lung problems, he explains.
