Hello!
E-cigarettes are proven to increase the risk of cancer, stroke, myocardial infarction, thrombosis, epilepsy, convulsions ... can be addictive, cause dangerous poisoning if overdosed.
In addition, e-cigarette products on the Vietnamese market have many flavors and chemicals that are not from ordinary tobacco materials. Raw materials mix many different ingredients, so they can be used to use drugs through mixing. You should stop smoking and see a Cardiologist for further evaluation of low blood pressure.
