Vaping and Smoking: Immediate Effects on Vascular Function

Researchers at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) have recently presented findings on the acute effects of cigarette and e-cigarette smoking on vascular function, even without nicotine. The ongoing study sheds light on the potentially harmful impacts of vaping, despite the common belief that e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to traditional tobacco smoking.

E-cigarettes, also known as vapes, have gained popularity as a supposedly less harmful option due to their reduced chemical content compared to tobacco smoke. However, the study led by Dr. Marianne Nabbout from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences reveals that vaping can still have detrimental effects on vascular function and overall health.

The research conducted at the University of Pennsylvania involved 31 healthy smokers and vapers between the ages of 21 to 49. Participants underwent MRI exams before and after smoking or vaping sessions with tobacco cigarettes, e-cigarettes with nicotine, and e-cigarettes without nicotine. The study compared their results to baseline scans of 10 non-smokers and non-vapers.

After inhaling each type of smoking or vaping product, there was a significant decrease in the resting blood flow velocity in the femoral artery, which supplies oxygenated blood to the lower body. The most pronounced decrease in vascular function was observed after inhaling e-cigarettes with nicotine, followed by those without nicotine.

Furthermore, vapers experienced decreased venous oxygen saturation, indicating a drop in oxygen uptake by the lungs immediately after vaping, regardless of nicotine content. Dr. Nabbout emphasizes that these findings highlight the acute effects that smoking and vaping can have on various vascular beds in the body.

The study underscores the potential risks associated with vaping and smoking on vascular health, with Dr. Nabbout cautioning the public that vaping may not be entirely harmless. She suggests that science should guide the regulation of these products to prioritize public health, and advises refraining from smoking and vaping whenever possible.

In conclusion, the research presented by the RSNA serves as a reminder that even seemingly safer alternatives like e-cigarettes can have immediate impacts on vascular function. The study urges individuals to consider the potential risks of vaping and smoking on their health and emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making when it comes to using these products.
