'More and more studies are linking e-cigarettes to harmful effects and finding that it might not be as safe as previously thought,' researchers said.
Vaping might not be as safe as we once thought, especially when it comes to the health of our heart.As of 2021, 4.5 percent of U.S. adults used e-cigarettes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Vaping is particularly prevalent among young people, with roughly one in seven high school students using e-cigarettes, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The study looked at 175,667 participants in total, with an average age of 52 years old, 3,242 of whom developed heart failure within the average 45-month follow-up period.Those who used e-cigarettes were found to be 19 percent more likely to develop heart failure than those who had never vaped, even after other heart disease risk factors and use of alcohol and tobacco products were accounted for.

CERN measures coupled resonance structure that may cause particle loss in accelerators for the first timeWhether in listening to music or pushing a swing in the playground, we are all familiar with resonances and how they amplify an effect—a sound or a movement, for example. However, in high-intensity circular particle accelerators, resonances can be an inconvenience, causing particles to fly off their course and resulting in beam loss.
