Vaping is associated with increased length of stay among cardiac inpatients
This study looked at over 1,600 patients admitted to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Those who had used e-cigarettes in the past spent more time in the hospital compared to those who hadn’t. On average, current users stayed about 3 days longer. The findings highlight the potential impact of vaping on recovery in people with heart conditions.

E-cigarette use and its link to physical activity and fitness: A systematic review protocol
E-cigarette use and its link to physical activity and fitness: A systematic review protocol
This protocol outlines a planned systematic review that will explore how e-cigarette use affects physical activity levels and cardiorespiratory fitness. The review will include studies comparing e-cigarette users and non-users on outcomes like VO2 max, exercise test results, or weekly physical activity. The goal is to better understand the health and fitness profile of people who vape, especially youth and young adults. The review will follow rigorous guidelines and include a forward citation strategy to capture the most relevant evidence.
