There have been many stories of patients being diagnosed with heart disease and wanting to try out the electric cigarette to help them stay away from tobacco cigarettes. Before any attempt is made, always make sure to check with your doctor first because even though the electric cigarette doesn’t produce toxic filled smoke, it is just a good idea to get your doctors advice first.
My mom has had a triple bypass & a heart attack, but she still struggles with wanting a cigarette. Are the non-nicotine electronic cigarettes safe for her?
We all know that cigarette smoke is the worst thing for your mom so if that’s the alternative almost anything else would be better. You have to be careful though because nicotine is a stimulant so needs to be used with caution, just like caffeine, by vulnerable people.
Apart from that there are no known serious harms caused by vapor and if it keeps your mom happy and off the cigs then it’s worth considering as a harm reduction strategy. If she decides to go the “No Nicotine” route, she will just inhale water vapor without any nicotine. This will give her the same sensation of smoking but without any nicotine going into her system. Unfortunately, she may want to upgrade to a low dose of nicotine just to get her fix.
Hope this helped.
I’ve never seen evidence that it hurts in any way. It may help her to eventually quit altogether.

I am pretty sure that even the nicotine electronic cigarette fluid would be fine as well. Nicotine is as harmful as caffiene. I dont know much about heart disease but if she can drink coffee she can smoke a electronic cigarette. Its the other 4000 chemicals in cigarettes that are harmful.
