Vaping both causes, and fixes, vascular function

Before we get to this article we would like to point out that although very much primarily we are all about heat not burn technology we will occasionally cross over into the world of vaping because there are quite a few similarities between the two.

The whole idea behind the technology is to offer smokers an alternative, one that will simulate smoking but without the actual smoke. Here we will see if heat not burn can help you quit smoking.
