A member asked:

If u smoke and was diagnosed with corated arterys and try to stop smoking by using the electric cigarette, is there still danger?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

No nicotine?: If it is the electric cigarette without nicotine, there is no increased danger; you still have your pre-existing coronary artery disease. Nicotine containing electric cigarettes still have the increased risk of heart disease.
