HealthDay (12/18, Thompson) reports, “It’s beside the point to debate whether vaping or nicotine pouches can be more healthy than smoking a cigarette, a major new report argues.” HealthDay says “nicotine is toxic to the heart and blood vessels regardless of how it’s consumed, according to an expert consensus report.” One researcher said, “Across cigarettes, vapes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches, we consistently see increased blood pressure, damage to blood vessels and a higher risk of heart disease. … No product that delivers nicotine is safe for the heart.” The findings were published in the European Heart Journal.
