Risk of stroke with e-cigarette and combustible cigarette use in young adults
American Journal of Preventive Medicine — Parekh T, et al. | January 09, 2020
Researchers assessed the risk of stroke in
relation to e-cigarette use with or without a history of prior or
concurrent combustible cigarette use among young adults. For this
purpose, they studied pooled data (2016–2017) from a nationally
representative, cross-sectional telephone survey—the Behavior Risk
Factor Surveillance System—in 2019. They analyzed overall 161,529
participants aged 18–44 years. Findings revealed no link between sole
e-cigarette use and greater odds of stroke in young adults. However,
experts found significantly increased odds of stroke if former or
current combustible cigarette use was reported by young adults even in
comparison with current sole combustible cigarette use. No stroke
benefits were conferred by switching from combustible cigarettes to
e-cigarettes.
