E-cigarettes are so dangerous and addictive governments should consider banning vaping, cardiologists have warned, SkyNews reports.

“As vaping rates around the world rise, new research has suggested the habit could damage the brain, heart, blood vessels and lungs”, adding that “researchers said an entire generation risks becoming hooked on nicotine as e-cigarettes are so addictive.”

Professor Thomas Munzel, lead researcher from the cardiology department at the University Medical Centre in Mainz, Germany, said e-cigarettes are so dangerous and addictive countries should consider banning them.

“The new study, published in the European Heart Journal, looked at the effect of e-cigarette vapour on blood flow and stiffness in the brachial artery in the upper arm in 20 smokers before they vaped and 15 minutes after.
