Survey Finds Higher Risk Of Stroke Among E-Cigarette Users Enlarge this image toggle caption RyanJLane/Getty Images RyanJLane/Getty Images The use of e-cigarettes is associated with an increased risk of heart attack, heart disease and stroke, according to research that is scheduled to be presented Feb. 6 at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference in Honolulu. The researchers used data collected by the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a phone survey Of the more than 400,000 respondents in 2016, 66,795 reported having used e-cigarettes at least once, and compared with nonusers, e-cigarette users had a 71 percent higher risk of stroke, 59 percent higher risk of heart attack and 40 percent higher risk of heart disease. "These results are important as they qualitatively and quantitatively agree with previous studies," says Stanton Glantz, a tobacco and e-cigarette researcher at University of California, San Francisco, who wasn't involved in this work but did publish another study that linked e-cigarette use to higher risk of heart attack. "Even in that group there was a 29 percent higher risk of stroke and a 25 percent higher risk of heart attack," Ndunda says.
