Abstract:
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are advertised as a healthier alternative for combustible cigarettes and have become the most commonly used smoking product. There is limited data regarding the association of e-cigarettes and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We assessed the association of chest pain reports across tobacco product use groups. We used data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study which is a nationally representative longitudinal study of tobacco use behavior and health effects. We categorized tobacco use patterns into 4 groups: cigarette use, dual use, e-cigarette use, and non-use. Participants were asked if they have ever had chest pain and if they have had chest pain in the past 30 days. Binominal regression models were used to examine the association between tobacco use categories and the 2 chest pain outcomes. We adjusted for covariates including age, sex, race, education, BMI, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, current use of other combustible tobacco products, secondhand smoke exposure, marijuana use in the past 30 days, recreational drug use and history of respiratory diseases. The cohort included 9,284 participants after excluding those with established CVD and those with missing outcome or exposure data. The Mean age was 57 (SD±11) years and 54% of participants were female. Among the participants, 3,020 were exclusive cigarette users, 213 were dual users, 175 were exclusive e-cigarette users (94% were former smokers), and 5,876 were non-users. Compared to non-use, combustible cigarette use had 1.48 (95% CI, 1.27, 1.73) odds of ever having chest pain and 1.72 (95% CI, 1.4, 2.11) odds of having chest pain in the past 30 days. Dual use was associated with 1.52 (CI 95%, 1.05, 2.19) odds of chest pain ever and 1.82 (95% CI, 1.17, 2.83) odds of 30 days chest pain. Exclusive e-cigarette use had 0.78 (95% CI, 0.49, 1.26) odds of ever having chest pain and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.39, 1.42) odds of having chest pain in the past 30 days. Our findings suggest that compared to non-use, exclusive e-cigarette use has similar rates of chest pain; whereas dual use and combustible cigarette use have increased rates of chest pain outcomes.
