Canada has also become one of the countries with the highest number of youth vaping in the world. Although Canada has taken steps to discourage youth from vaping, Canada has one of the highest rates of vaping use in the world. Now, new studies reveal that vaping increases the risk among young adults. New studies have found that vaping at a young age increases the risk of heart disease later in life, especially in men. The study was conducted by researchers at the Research Institute at McGill University Health Center in collaboration with staff at the Lady David Institute for Medical Research (LDI). For the study, vaping products popular among teenagers were studied and their effects tested in the laboratory.

The study was conducted in two phases. The first study, BMJ Open Respiratory Research, found that even short-term use of e-cigarettes can cause severe lung damage. The study observed changes in metabolism, detoxification and lipid signaling pathways, the researchers said. Some of these are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, the researchers said.

A second study, published in the journal Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, found that e-cigarette aerosols caused less inflammation in the lungs. Prolonged daily exposure to tobacco-flavored vape products can lead to increased cholesterol levels and plaque buildup in the heart and blood vessels. In both studies, lung and heart changes were found predominantly in males. This suggests that vaping affects men significantly. The study's findings raise concerns about the future health of young people who currently use vaping heavily, the researchers said.
