You may think vaping is safer than smoking\u2014especially nicotine-free vaping\u2014but new research shows it can still harm your blood vessels and raise the risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n

While vaping avoids many toxic chemicals found in cigarettes, it’s not harmless. Even without nicotine, vape liquids break down into harmful byproducts when heated, potentially causing lung inflammation, chronic coughing, and shortness of breath. Flavored vapes often contain chemicals like diacetyl (linked to popcorn lung) and heavy metals from vape coils.<\/p>\n

E-cigarettes create vapor by heating a liquid made of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin\u2014safe to ingest, but risky to inhale. A 2024 study found that both nicotine and nicotine-free vapes negatively affect vascular function, with nicotine-free vapes still showing significant impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re exposing yourself to chemicals we don\u2019t fully understand,\u201d said Dr. Michael Blaha of Johns Hopkins. The concern is especially high for youth who never smoked but start vaping due to flavored options.<\/p>\n

In short: vaping\u2014even without nicotine\u2014isn\u2019t risk-free. The latest research suggests it can still damage your heart and blood vessels over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
