A study by MedStar Health in Baltimore presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session shows e-cigarette users have a 19% higher risk of heart failure than non-users.

Research involving 175,667 participants indicates a link between e-cigarette use and heart failure, especially in those with preserved ejection fraction.

Evidence is accumulating that vaping may cause long-term health issues, including cellular changes and cardiovascular stress similar to those resulting from smoking tobacco.

The safety of e-cigarettes is increasingly questioned, contradicting the belief that they are a safer alternative to traditional smoking.

Researchers advocate for public education on the risks of vaping and encourage users to consider quitting, with a particular focus on youth.
