New study comparing the health effects of vaping to smoking

Addiction Economy Thought for Today - interesting new study that "compared vapers and smokers in a strenuous exercise test and found both groups emerged as being less fit and much more out of breath than people who have neither habit."

“Both vapers and smokers showed signs that their blood vessels were not working as well as the non-smoking and non-vaping group, according to the blood tests and ultrasound scans.

“The smokers and the vapers were more out of breath, experienced intense leg fatigue and had higher levels of lactate in their blood, a sign of muscle fatigue, even before they reached their maximum level of exercise.”

Given that this is a cheap and dead easy test to do, and vapers have been clearly demonstrating this if observed ‘in the wild’ (!) very surprising it hadn’t been done before.  However a very strong statement to say 'as bad as' smoking.

Here is the actual study. Thanks Sarah Parker from Catch 22 for the heads up.
