Related: Comparison of cardiovascular toxicity between cigarettes and e-cigarettes in adults

Smoking is a major cause of noncommunicable diseases worldwide and a major risk factor for lung disease.
despite the dramatic decline in global tobacco use over the past two decades, the use of e-cigarettes and sedgeum remains an emerging trend, especially among the younger generation.
Since the introduction of E-cigarettes in 2005, the global e-cigarette epidemic has risen sharply, with e-cigarette sales growing almost dozens of times over the past decade, showing a "pandemic" trend, especially among the younger generation since 2016.
the global e-cigarette market will exceed $60 billion between 2020 and 2025, according to market intelligence firm Arizton.
e-cigarettes are typical forms of an e-nicotine delivery system that vaporizes nicotine-containing liquids for inhalation purposes.
, however, there is growing evidence that e-cigarettes are not harmless substitutes for tobacco.
including last year's outbreak in the United States of America of "lung damage caused by the use of e-cigarettes or e-atomization products" (EVALI) to increase the likely infection of new coronary pneumonia, suggest that e-cigarettes may be a significant health risk.
Evali patients with symptom attacks and hospitalizations, the CDC so, given that inflammation and oxidative stress are key factors in smoking-induced cardiovascular disease, e-cigarettes can also cause increased levels of inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers in the human body? Which is more cardiovascularly toxic than regular cigarettes? To that end, a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins and Boston University in the United States studied the issue.
results were published in the latest issue of circulation in the form ofLetter.
path (Tobacco and Healthy Population Assessment) study is the most nationally representative longitudinal queue in the United States.
first survey was conducted in 2013-2014 and included the collection of blood and urine samples.
the study, the researchers' analysis was limited to adults aged ≥18 in the first study, including data on biomarkers and cigarette/e-cigarette use in that group.
The participants were divided into four groups based on their use of cigarettes/e-cigarettes over the past 30 days: (1) not using cigarettes or e-cigarettes;
detected inflammatory biomarkers (hs-CRP, IL-6, fibrinogen, soluble intercellular adhesion molecules) and oxidative stress factors (urine 8-isoarthrogen).
corrects covariating variables that may affect smoking behavior, including race, gender, age, education, family income, body mass index, combined diabetes, heart disease, heart failure, stroke, use of other tobacco products, drug use, etc.
the relationship between cigarette/e-cigarette use and biomarkers using corrected multi-factor linear analysis models.
results included 7,130 participants, of whom 58.6 per cent did not smoke cigarettes/e-cigarettes, 1.9 per cent and 29.6 per cent used e-cigarettes only for cigarettes, and 9.9 per cent used both.
multi-factor linear regression model showed no difference between inflammatory and oxidative stress markers between participants who used e-cigarettes and non-smokers.
, but compared to those who did not smoke anything, both used significantly higher levels of inflammation and oxidative stress markers in the population.
further analysis showed that participants who used e-cigarettes only had higher hs-CRP and lower other factors than those who used only cigarettes.
that there was no difference in factor indicators between users of the two products and users of a specific cigarette.
, the results of other tobacco substitutes are similar.
, there was no difference in inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers among e-cigarette and non-smoking participants in the nationally representative adult population study.
e-cigarette smokers had lower levels of inflammation and oxidative stress markers than cigarette smokers.
the importance of replacing cigarettes entirely with e-cigarettes or quitting smoking entirely.
, in the author's view, in view of the above and previous research results, do not smoke any tobacco products is undoubtedly the best choice.
