Many believe that vaping is less harmful than smoking cigarettes. A new study, which will be published soon, questions this. The study, by Manchester Metropolitan University, has found that e-cigarettes and vapes are just as bad for health as cigarettes. Researchers gave volunteers fitness tests which measured things like blood flow to their brains. Results show that long-term users of vapes and e-cigarettes are equally at risk of dementia, heart disease and organ failure as regular cigarette smokers. This is because of damage to artery walls and reduced blood flow.
