Scientists for the first time in the world compared the harm from smoking ordinary cigarettes, hookahs and vapes.
The first comparative work was published in the European Heart edition, writes MedicalXpress. And its results will definitely disappoint lovers of vapes and hookahs, as well as people who considered these methods smoking safe.

As for lung cancer, cigarettes again took the first place (the probability of contracting cancer among smokers increases by 1 210%), hookah lovers are also not safe, their risks increase by 122%, and the carcinogenicity of electronic cigarettes has not yet been proven succeeded.All three types of smoking affected the condition of the arteries, and we use this parameter to predict diseases of the cardiovascular system. Tobacco made the arteries 10% more rigid, this parameter for hookah and e-cigarettes was 9 and 7%.In addition, scientists have shown that smoking both tobacco and vapes and hookah increases the level of free radicals in the body (lead to premature aging), and also accelerate the breakdown of a substance necessary for expansion vessels.
