There is not much truth to the paper "Nicotine and the cardiovascular system: unmasking a global public health threat" by Thomas Münze et al., published in the European Heart Journal in December 2025.

The article discusses nicotine and the #cardiovascular system, equating smoking with #vaping and #nicotine pouches. Although nicotine does have some effect on the cardiovascular system, #smoking adds considerable harmfulness, which the authors largely ignore. Claims are made that do not correspond with #scientific evidence, and the funding is also questionable.
