Researchers
at Louisiana State University reviewed studies of heat-not-burn
products, such as IQOS from Philip Morris. They found the products were
linked to high blood pressure, reduced dilation of blood vessels,
stiffening of the arteries, increased heart rate and reduced heart
function. Use of these products also was associated with an increased
risk of arrhythmia, or abnormal heart rhythm, in people who have
pacemakers, HealthDay reports. The findings come from an analysis of
almost 50 human and rodent studies.
“Heat-not-burn devices are
marketed as a safer alternative to cigarettes for existing smokers.
However, as we have learned from vaping and e-cigarettes, these products
are very likely to be used by minors and never-smokers due to
marketing, flavor options and lack of social stigma that is found with
traditional cigarettes,” study co-author Jason Gardner said in a
university news release.
