A study in Nature Reviews Cardiology finds all nicotine-containing products, including vapes and nicotine pouches, pose cardiovascular risks.Summary
A large review published in Nature Reviews Cardiology reveals that while conventional cigarettes and water pipes carry the highest cardiovascular risk, heated tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and nicotine pouches still pose significant dangers. Lead author Thomas Münzel from the University Medical Centre Mainz emphasizes that eliminating combustion reduces but does not eliminate risk. Nicotine contributes to atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes by affecting blood vessel function, including suppressing prostacyclin and increasing endothelin-1. The study underscores the need for consistent nicotine-based regulations as vaping and nicotine pouches gain popularity in the EU, where tobacco policies are evolving.
