"Vaping Linked to Significant Increase in Heart Failure Risk, Study Shows"

A study warns that vaping may raise the risk of heart failure, and over 1,000 adverse side effects linked to vaping have been reported to UK regulators. Experts urge the government to take action, including implementing a vaping cessation strategy, increasing fines for illegal sales to children, and providing education on the dangers of vaping. Concerns over the rise in youth vaping have led to government measures to restrict vape flavors and packaging marketed at children, ban disposable vapes, and raise taxes on e-cigarette fluid. While vaping is considered a safer alternative to smoking, experts are increasingly concerned about its long-term use, particularly among non-smokers and youth.
