Electronic Cigarette Smoking Increases Aortic Stiffness and Blood Pressure in Young Smokers

Smoking increases aortic stiffness and blood pressure (BP) (1), which are both important predictors of cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality (2,3). Given the prognostic role of aortic stiffness and increased BP for future cardiovascular events and mortality, as well as the prolonged exposure to EC smoking throughout the day matched with the strong tendency of this form of smoking to spread worldwide, especially within younger ages, our findings have important implications that could aid recommendations regarding the use of EC smoking..
