Had Installed 3 Stents, Stents Put Prior To Oncoming Heart Attack. On Electronic Cigarettes.
I have had 3 stents installed over the last 2 years
I feel healthy and am very active.
I smoked cigarettes for 60 years. I have no lung issues and fortunately I do not have any heart defects.
I had the stents put in prior to a oncoming heart attack.
I now smoke electronic cigarettes and wonder if they are ok to smoke? I do not use them constantly but in any case regularly.

Hi and thanks for the query,
Considering your cardiovascular medical history, the best of things shall be to quit cigarettes. This is most useful since there is a possibility of getting addicted in the long run and getting back on intense cigarette smoking. It is important to reduce as much as cardiovacsular risk as possible. I do suggest quitting appropriately and completely from smoking.
kind regards
