i want to know if vaping nicotine increase blood cells

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Sorry I do not fully understand your question. However nicotine, regardless of how taken, will cause a rise in blood pressure and heart rate, and narrowing of the arteries that could lead to heart attack, stroke and PAD. Best avoided!

i meant is vaping nicotine can increase my hemoglobin?

[JulianM in reply to kassidy112]

There's a hormone called EPO which does exactly that. It's an important medical treatment for people with low red blood cell counts but, for precisely this reason, it is banned in sport. Someone called Lance Armstrong had all his cycling records deleted because of it. Nicotine patches and inhalers are not banned in sport - so hopefully that answers your question. No.

i hope i say it clear this time does vape increase my hemoglobin or blood cell count?

[JulianM in reply to kassidy112]

Sorry if my answer wasn't clear. No, it will not increase your hemoglobin or blood cell count. I have also tried to explain why I am sure this is the right answer.

thank you❤️

Worth adding that one of the worst things about smoking cigarettes is that carbon monoxide in the smoke poisons your red blood cells, so switching from smoking to vaping will remove that problem. However, if you don't smoke, vaping won't do you any good.

I have read some research (not peer reviewed to my knowledge) that.suggested vaping nicotine reduces haemoglobin by 15% - 25%! So the answer is no! If low levels are an issue you need to see your GP!

[kassidy112 in reply to MichaelJH]

No i'm just afraid of having a high hemoglobin

Perhaps maybe dont vape then. Vaping is a fairly new craze and people wont see the full damage extent until years down the line. If you never were a smoker then dont vape.
