The increase in the consumption of electronic cigarettes has aroused concerns due to the potential damage to health. This study addresses the diseases caused by the use of electronic cigarettes and their irreversible damage. We seek to identify the harmful health effects associated with this practice, providing crucial insights for preventive interventions and more effective health policies. The increasing use of e-cigarettes as an alternative to traditional smoking raises questions about the impacts on lung and cardiovascular health. Although considered less harmful, e-cigarettes pose significant risks due to the presence of harmful chemicals and aerosols. In addition, the analysis points to vascular impairment and increased risk of irreversible cardiovascular diseases, with emphasis on oxidative stress and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Continuous exposure to heavy metals and other toxic compounds in the vapors contributes significantly to this damage. The discussion highlights the urgent need for stricter regulation and awareness campaigns to address the misperception that e-cigarettes are harmless. The limitations of the study, such as the lack of more recent data, are acknowledged, underscoring the importance of continued research.
