Core Tip

Core Tip: E-cigarette use among adolescents in Pakistan is rising rapidly, driven by misconceptions of safety and lax regulations. This trend poses serious cardiovascular risks due to nicotine, aldehydes, and toxic particles that induce inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction. Urgent public health measures are needed to curb use and prevent long-term cardiovascular harm.
