Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Clear-type E-Cigarettes Rot Your Heart Faster So-called “clear e-cigarettes that contain synthetic cooling agents trigger greater blood pressure and heart rate increases than menthol flavored e-cigarettes. Yale and Boston University researchers issue this warning following their study of 200 young adult vapers and non-vapers. They analyzed 3 groups: 23 clear-ecig vapers; 111 non-clear vapers; and 73 non-vapers. Their paper appears in the Journal of the American Heart Association. These “clear” vapes contain WS-23 or WS-3, both synthetic coolants that mimic menthol’s cooling effects but impart no flavor to the vapor. The data revealed that these agents were associated with greater heart strains than e-cigs containing menthol itself. The investigators suggest that these synthetic cooling agents have been introduced to circumvent bans against flavorings in vaping products, such as the ones in Massachusetts, California, New York State, Delaware, and elect cities around the country,. While this study only looked at the short term effects of these synthetic cooling agents, it’s not unreasonable to believe that “clear” e-cigs create greater risks of heart failure and stroke over time than other e-cigs. As usual..buyer beware. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-cigarettes-linked-greater-acute-blood.html https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.124.036106 #ecigarettes #vaping #clear #cooling #menthol #hypertension #heartfailure #stroke"

A new study by Yale and Boston University reveals that clear-type e-cigarettes containing synthetic cooling agents may lead to greater heart strains and increased risks of heart failure and stroke.
