While cigarette smoking is considered "dangerous to health", a new study shows that its alternative also increases a person's risk to heart diseases. Some study claims that electronics cigarettes are healthy options in case a person wants to quit smoking, however, experts have found out that habitual users are more prone to an increase of adrenaline levels and oxidative stress, which are factors linked with cardiovascular disease.
Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, were initially released in the UK in 2005. A year after, the US market has welcomed the new device and in a snap, it has gained popularity especially among the younger generation. Primarily, it is because it ditches the dangerous tar, smoke, and carbon monoxide that traditional cigarettes possess.

However, a new research claims that e-cigarettes are as dangerous as its traditional version. Merely, it's because it produces an aerosol that usually contains nicotine. This is what makes users have the same feel with regular smoking. On the dark note, the nicotine "constricts blood vessels," according to Daily Mail.

The recent study in the University of California Los Angeles involves people from ages 21 to 45; 16 habitual e-cigarette smokers who have been using the device for a minimum of one year and 19 people who have never smoked traditional cigarettes and its electronic alternative.

According to The Verge, study shows that e-cigarette users are more likely to develop an increased adrenaline levels in the heart and the rise of oxidative stress compared to non-smokers.
However, the study has its limitations as it includes a small number of people, which makes it a little reliable.

Also, it failed to include a "control group" that involves tobacco cigarette smokers which could significantly add interesting details. Nevertheless, it's still best to opt for healthier habits that putting one's self at risk.
