- Abstract:
- Tobacco consumption is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Despite all efforts to curb any form of smoking, the number of e-cigarette users is still rising more than tabacco smoking decreases. E-cigarettes are often advertised as less harmful than regular cigarettes and helpful for smoking cessation. But e-cigarettes are not risk-free and their use causes vascular damage. There is concern about long-term health risks of e-cigarettes or when non-smokers use them as first nicotine contact. Furthermore, their use for smoking cessation is discussed controversially. To optimize treatment and medical counselling of current smokers and e-cigarette users, we present an evidence-based overview of the most important issues of e-cigarette use from a vascular medicine point of view. The key messages are presented as a position statement of the German Society of Vascular Medicine and endorsed by the European Society of Vascular Medicine.
