Are you e-cigarette smoker? If yes, then you’r damaging your own blood vessels. A study shows that e-cigarette liquids with clove and vanilla flavorings are very harmful for smokers even they don’t have nicotine. Some smokers think that nicotine less e-cigarette doesn’t spoil body cells, but they are wrong. It not only harms blood vessels, but also damages your heart.
During a research, scientists tried to find the effect of nine famous e-cigarette flavorings on endothelial cells, which border the interior of heart and blood vessels by forming endothelium, a thick layer which contains only one cell. It secrets substances that help manage vascular relaxation and contraction. In addition to that, it also releases enzymes that prevent blood clotting, control platelet bonding and immune function.
Different types of materials such as banana, butter, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, mint, strawberry, vanilla and “burnt” are used to furnish a popcorn or tobacco-like flavor. These all flavors are examined by the researchers in laboratory, in which they found all of them harmful for human body. They generally spoil body cells.
