Does Consuming Nicotine Has Effects On Health?
Have recently given up smoking traditional cigerretes and moved to the e-cigs. Although I am still pumping nicotine into my system, am I likely to see benefits in my health similar to that if I had given up completely? Some very varied opinions on this at the moment?

Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
Nicotine increases or activates your sympathetic nervous system which results in increased heart rate, blood pressure and the chances of heart attack.The risk is lesser than conventional cigar due to low nicotine content(e-cigars are not devoid nicotine instead contain low nicotine).I hope you will be gradually be able to wean from smoking.Hope this helps and answers your query.
