‘Smokeless’ tobacco devices are just as bad for the heart as cigarettes, new research reveals.
After exposing mice to 10 five-second exposures of such devices’ vapor, their blood vessel function decreased by 60 percent, which is highly similar to the 62 percent previously seen in humans, a study found.
Blood vessel function is determined by assessing their ability to widen in response to increased blood flow and is a measure of heart health.
