Hate to be so rude about it, but those newfangled 'electronic cigarettes' make you suck. Harder. For real. And possibly to the detriment of your cardiovascular health. That's what experts in Riverside say after conducting experiments involving eight conventional cigarettes and five 'electronic' brands with a machine that tested what vacuum power was necessary to get a drag off the various kinds of smokes. The e cigarettes, devices that combine a battery-powered atomizer and nicotine, did not deliver uniform doses to 'smokers,' which likely would cause them to inhale more deeply and often to get the 'hit' they need -- a compensatory conduct that could lead to greater penetration of harmful substances into the lungs and cardiovascular system, as experts have seen in the case of 'light' cigarettes, the experts warn.
Machine testing shows that smokers likely take deeper, more frequent puffs with 'e cigarettes'
