2019: Global Forum on Nicotine (GFN) The effect of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ends)
and new tobacco products on the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with high tobacco dependence
-Switching to ENDS/NTPs and nicotine delivery with cigarette smoke’s harmful effects elimination does not interrupt blood oxygen transport function which allows to avoid vessel endothelial damage. The obtained results show significantly less harmful influence of ENDS/NTPs on cardio-vascular function if compared to tobacco smoke and confirm the possibility to consider them as harm reduction products for smokers who do not want or are not ready to quit smoking completely.
