A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association asserts that e-cigarettes with nicotine can damage the heart in nonsmokers with just one puff: researchers did blood tests and measured the subjects’ heart rhythms and found that participants had high levels of adrenaline in their hearts after they smoked e-cigs with nicotine, but not after they puffed on e-cigarettes without nicotine or empty e-cigs.

Dr. Holly R. Middlekauff, senior study author and a cardiologist at UCLA, and her colleagues found participants developed a pattern of abnormal “heart rate variability” (HRV), which is indicative of increased heart adrenaline levels after using the e-cigarette with nicotine only. These increased adrenaline levels were attributable to the inhaled nicotine and not the non-nicotine components in the e-cigarette aerosol. Nevertheless, the researchers did not find increased oxidative stress because they only looked at one marker, therefore this warrants further testing to support this finding.
 
What in the hell?

The article didn't even mention if the effect was long term. It is highly likely that it is a short term effect that is directly the cause of nicotine itself since it's a stimulant. Oh shit, this just in: coffee intake for non-coffee drinkers causes increased heart rate and elevated need to hit the restroom. Where is my money for conducting that study?

"This challenges the belief that nicotine is benign and without significant risk." - Whoever said this? Nicotine is an addictive stimulant. I don't think anyone has ever claimed it was benign and without risk.
 
Completely worthless study.

The same can be said far ANY stimulant... or somebody scaring you, or you going on a good rollercoaster. Or watching sports (If you actually care about them).

Even being pulled over by a cop can have the same effect. I say we ban law enforcement because it can damage your heart.

This is your tax dollars at work people. Funding for this type of crap needs to be banned as all it is is a way for these idiots to line their pockets with your money without you having a say in the matter.
 
How did they miss the obvious results?

Smoking makes you look cool, but vaping as the above poster noted, makes you look lame as shit.

Don’t vape kids. Unless it’s hash or marijuana, then vape away.

That's the only good thing to come from this 'vaping' trend. I can sit there and smoke in public without attracting any attention. Heck I was vaping 'nicotine' in front of a cop and wasn't worried. But, on the other hand, you get rolled up with the rest of the DBs that are vaping their cigs.
 
Really bad headline. The word "damage" implies permanent affects, but the study says nothing about that.
 
Nicotine elevates heart rate by 10 to 20 bpm... that's partly why you smoke lol!

Ya, what's the deal with cars? Do they get some industrial size rig hooked directly to the engine? I can't believe the volume of 'vape' that pours outta some cars. Make's me think semi's pollute less.

I don't understand why smoking is considered cool but vaping makes you a douchebag. Is it a manliness thing?
 
These researchers should definitely avoid sex. It damages your heart. Actually, they shouldn't watch porn either.

AHHAHAHA.

yeh studies like this make me lol so much....Nicotine is a potentially addictive substance, there has been no far reach studies done to PROVE it either...it is found in other foods and such not just tobacco, it is a stimulant that increases dopamine levels, and yes heart rate.

Wonder if they studied the actual levels in non smokers vaping an ecig, or if as per usual they took an ecig machine ran it at a way higher level of wattage/volts to turn the substances found in their specific concoction to "dangerous levels"



As for person who says smoking isnt cool and vaping is even less cool than that your opinion, maybe others have same opinion, do you drink, do you drive vehicle like maniac, do you do anything others may view as not cool ever? pretty sure the answer would be yes, all I know is I vape, it has helped my health, it helps my ability to concentrate, my energy levels, I dont wheeze/cough a lung up everyday, it doesnt smell like crap compared to smoking cigs, it does not kill my pocketbook etc.....Better never eat things like tomato, eggplant and such because they contain nicotine a performance enhancing drug, drugs are not cool mkay!

Nicotine is a great chemical. It helps people cope and it has tremendous positive mental effects. Pisses me off how this is diminished as if nothing. Cigarettes though are fucked up... Sometimes i wonder if not even tobacco, as in pure plant no insecticide or additives would have way less effects than the perversion of a plant that cigarettes are.

Sorry, what do you mean with that last sentence? You made it sound as if cigarettes grow on plants... Your damn stogie bush is leaving butts in my yard again!

If you want truly pure tobacco without chemicals, give a nice cigar a go.

Males or Men?

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE >:I
 
Sex can damage your heart too, quick everyone stop having sex. Also vigorous exercise, getting excited, angry, scared and happy; so no one have an emotion or move it's just not worth the risk.
 
as a non-smoker I know vaping is for fuqbois, smoking is just cooler.

Vaping < Smoking. Why?

Because most people see the vape bro cloudchasers as representing everyone that vapes. You know, the ones that sit in a place and fog it out then go home and make vape trick videos while they practice for cloud contests (yes thats a thing) The ones that never smoked before but picked up vaping to fit in.

Same here, i got some carts that definitely do not contain nicotine and i can use them in public, bring them to concerts, etc. and not have anyone bat an eye because they just think its an ecig.

oh hell no, i wouldn't do it in a public place like a restaurant or anywhere indoors. thats just douchey. But if im in the park or outside its ok and i dont have to keep constantly looking out for the 5-0.
 
i make my own coils and cotton, and e juice .. i vape all day all night. specially when sitting on the PC on couch in living room.
its so gorgeous smells beautiful and has 3 mg nicotine.

thats the point of nicotine ... its a stimulant like coffee
 
Swear ta gawd.. I absolutely HATE walking through those damn cotton candy clouds of stenchified crap people pump in and out of their lungs while sucking on that glass and chrome dick..... massive white clouds of it.. thanks, I REALLY wanted to walk around smelling like a psychedelic unicorn fart.
 
Wait, are these "scientists" trying to tell me that putting toxins into my body is bad for me?

This is another left wing conspiracy against my FREEDOM, isn't it?
