53% of current vapers in the UK, that’s around 3 million people, used to smoke cigarettes. Many believe that vaping is less harmful than smoking cigarettes. A new study, which will be published soon, questions this.
The study, by Manchester Metropolitan University, has found that e-cigarettes and vapes are just as bad for health as cigarettes.
Researchers gave volunteers fitness tests which measured things like blood flow to their brains.
Results show that long-term users of vapes and e-cigarettes are equally at risk of dementia, heart disease and organ failure as regular cigarette smokers. This is because of damage to artery walls and reduced blood flow.
