E-cigarettes associated with increased blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial stiffness, study reveals

I can concur with this. I used e-cigarettes until recently. I have a watch which has heart monitor on it and noticed that my heart rate went sky high 156-165 after using it. I didn’t feel it myself but watch picked it up and when I downloaded to my App was horrified. 

 

Literally the next day after I stopped heart rate now normal and no reoccurrence. 

 

How many people are smoking e-cigarettes and don’t know this is happening to them?

 

might be healthier on the lungs but not the heart.

The only problem with your post is you're representing the facts, from your personal experience.  then telling the truth.  What are you thinking?!

For your heart rate to go that high there is something very wrong and it's not the cigarette. If I were you I'd get it checked out unless you were 'vaping' while doing strenuous exercise.

 

Heart rate can increase by 5 or 6 bpm according to studies done.

This http://jaha.ahajournals.org/content/6/9/e006353#ref-41 cites this : https://academic.oup.com/ntr/article/15/1/267/1096105

 

This is less of an increase than you would expect from a reqular cigarette.

I did get it checked out. Nothing wrong other than I stopped e-cigarettes and no reoccurrence in 2 months.

Yes it is from my personal experience but a fact!! New study explains why. 

Just think that the fine must be same like smoking on the beach. Get it up to 100K, and everybody can sleep happy.

Utterly ludicrous. The developed world is encouraging their use and Thailand, showing how far from being developed it is, is now nailing tourists as they arrive for having one, which pretty clearly is for personal use, threatening crazy prison sentences and demanding "fines." You can now cross another substantial group of people off the list of prospective visitors. Well done Thailand, first place in the "shooting ones self in the foot" awards.

country gone wrong

I was being "sarcastic" but agreeing with you.  Actually I salute you!!!
