Health effects of e-cigarettes and their use for smoking cessation from a vascular perspective
Vasa. 2023 Feb 3. doi: 10.1024/0301-1526/a001056. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT Tobacco consumption is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Despite all efforts to curb any form of smoking, the number of e-cigarette users is still rising more than tabacco smoking decreases. E-cigarettes are often advertised as less harmful than regular cigarettes and helpful for smoking cessation. But e-cigarettes are not risk-free and their use causes vascular damage. There is concern about long-term health risks of e-cigarettes or when non-smokers use them as first nicotine contact. Furthermore, their use fo...

Nicotine Dependence and Willingness to Quit Smoking in Vascular Surgery Patients
Smoking rates have declined; however, it remains the primary modifiable risk factor for vascular disease. Whereas vascular surgeons often advise patients to quit, few provide assistance. We sought to understand patients' interest in quitting and to determine factors that influence this willingness to quit.

Depression screening in patients with vascular disease
Vascular. 2022 Apr 11:17085381221084817. doi: 10.1177/17085381221084817. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: Major depression is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in vascular surgery patients. The US Preventive Services Task Force and American Heart Association recommend routine depression screening for adults, especially those with cardiovascular disease. Since routine depression screening has not been implemented in most vascular surgery clinics across the nation, we sought to determine the feasibility of depression screening and understand the prevalence and predictors of depression in patients pre...

Benfotiamine counteracts smoking-induced vascular dysfunction in healthy smokers.
Conclusion. In healthy volunteers, smoking blunts vascular function mirrored by a decrease in FMD and an increase in sVCAM-1. Short-term treatment with benfotiamine significantly reduces these effects, showing protective vascular properties. PMID: 23091724 [PubMed]

One Minute of Marijuana Secondhand Smoke Exposure Substantially Impairs Vascular Endothelial Function Vascular Medicine
Conclusions One minute of exposure to marijuana SHS substantially impairs endothelial function in rats for at least 90 minutes, considerably longer than comparable impairment by tobacco SHS. Impairment of FMD does not require cannabinoids, nicotine, or rolling paper smoke. Our findings in rats suggest that SHS can exert similar adverse cardiovascular effects regardless of whether it is from tobacco or marijuana.
