Vaping and High Blood Pressure

[smokefree124]

I know that smoking cigarettes does raise one's blood pressure to varies degrees depending of the individual. I am curious as to the effects of vaping as it relates to blood pressure. I am sure there are those who read this that have some information pertaining to this subject and I am very interested in reading anything that would "relieve the burden of my ignorance" in this matter. Thank you!

HI @smokefree124 . There is a search box in the upper right above your name and avatar. It is keyword activated and just about any vape term or related term will work to give results. I used it for this:

My background is in medicine (surgical physician's assistant). I'll give you my

Nicotine is a stimulent very similar to caffeine. It is a "vaso constrictor", meaning it can cause tiny blood vessels to constrict, which can cause hypertension or high blood pressure. So anyone with a history of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease should be wary of nicotine products.

Nicotine also inhibits new bone growth. So if you have a healing fracture, spinal surgery, or any type of bone/joint surgery strongly consider abstaining from smoking or vaping with nicotine, or using any nicotine product.

For what it's worth, my cardiologist told me after my second set of arterial stents to drop the nicotine completely. I now vape 0 nic juice exclusively and still enjoy it.

Hi and welcome. I have high blood pressure. But I did before I started vaping, too. +1, nicotine will do that to you.

Yup...Nicotine raises your blood pressure. So does caffeine, salt, alcohol, chronic stress, and those aggravating people you know at work.
