Effects of Acute Vaporized Nicotine in Non Tobacco Users at Rest and during Exercise


Abstract

International Journal of Exercise Science 9(5): 607-615, 2016. Smokers, and even non-smokers, may utilize vaporized nicotine delivered by electronic cigarette (EC) due to the perception that EC are “healthier” than traditional tobacco cigarettes. The effects of vaporized nicotine delivered by EC on resting blood pressure (BP) and resting metabolic rate (RMR), or BP and aerobic power during exercise have not been studied. This investigation tested the effects of acute vaporized nicotine inhalation by EC on resting BP and RMR and cycle exercise BP, metabolic responses, and aerobic power in young, normotensive non-smokers. Using a double-blind design, 20 subjects (10 female) participated in two randomized trials: placebo (0 mg nicotine) or nicotine (18 mg nicotine). Participants inhaled from EC once every 30 s for 10 min (20 inhalations total). RMR was assessed 40 min later by indirect calorimetry followed by an incremental cycle test. RMR was not different between trials (p=0.79). Compared to the placebo, resting diastolic pressure (DBP) was 3 mmHg higher with nicotine (p=0.04). VO2peak was not different between the nicotine trial (2.3±0.8 L•min-1) and placebo (2.3±0.7 L•min-1) trials (p=0.77), and Wmax was also similar between nicotine (201.0±53.8 W) and the placebo (204.8±57.8 W) (p=0.29). During the cycle exercise test, average DBP was higher following nicotine use compared with placebo trial (p=0.05), and exercise DBPpeak after nicotine (79.4±7.6) was significantly higher than placebo (74.9±8.3 mmHg) (p=0.02). Resting systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 3.7 mmHg lower for nicotine trial (p=0.04) but no SBP treatment effect was observed during exercise (p=0.14). Our results show that acute vaporized nicotine inhalation via EC increases resting and exercise DBP but does not affect RMR or cycle aerobic power in young, normotensive non-smokers.

For people to think that vaping is a better system is crazy.

Vaping is childish. There is no true healthy alternative to smoking. It's better to quit nicotine all together.

I dunno, I think vaping is less potentially deleterious to health than steroids, and many (most?) people here utilize those and I wouldn't call using steroids childish.

It's all a matter of perspective, if someone gets enjoyment out of something, why is that childish?

If they enjoy it within reason, and want to consume nicotine, and are doing the health(ier) alternative to smoking, what's the problem?

As long as they're not vaping in your face when you're out and about, who cares?

I guess that's my issue as it seems like people think it's alright to blow it anywhere, although I have experienced that with cigarette smokers as well.

Everybody's got their bad habits. I smoke and drink socially. I like my weed and I would assume I'm not alone on this board. Vaping though? Not for me. To each their own.

Thanks for sharing this experiment. Very interesting to analyze the results and make a conclusion after that. Yes, many people, even me, perceive that vaping is "healthier" than smoking cigarettes. But in fact, they have the same effects. Both contain nicotine. But the hardest thing is to get rid of this addiction to vaping. I started vaping when I was at school, and now I'm 25 years old, and I'm still vaping. I know it's stupid and very harmful to my health, but the liquids from thevapecig.co.uk cause me total addiction. They are very aromatic, and that makes me want to vape more and more. I will try to vape less every day, and I hope that I will give up vaping in the shortest period. Wish me luck!
