Description
Yi Lu and co-authors link vaping, smoking, and using both to high blood pressure and death risk, in a 2024 study of United States survey data. Burning cigarettes are known to raise blood pressure, but data on e-cigarettes and dual use were thin. The team draw on a national health survey from 2015 to 2018.
The sample holds 7,696 adults. After adjustment, vaping alone tied to 56 percent higher odds of high blood pressure, smoking to 29 percent higher, and dual use to 83 percent higher. Among people who already had high blood pressure, current vapers died at higher rates over about three years of follow-up, from all causes and from heart causes alike. The authors warn that past smoking may drive part of that link, but they back tighter control of e-cigarette use.
