E-Cigarette's May Double Your Risk for a Heart Attack
Dr. Morris explains that while e-cigarette's may be a great transition into smoking cessation, when used solely for recreational purposes or when combining with the use of traditional cigarettes their health risks are very high.

"Using both products at the same time is worse than using either one separately. Someone who continues to smoke daily while using e-cigarettes daily increases the odds of a heart attack by a factor of five..."
