Abstract
The JUUL e-cigarette is the most popular e-cigarette in the market. In the present study, inhaling on a JUUL e-cigarette increased mean arterial pressure and heart rate, and decreased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). In contrast, inhaling on a placebo e-cigarette without nicotine elicited no sympathomimetic effects. Although previous tobacco cigarette studies have demonstrated increased mean arterial pressure and MSNA inhibition, ours is the first study to report similar responses while inhaling on an e-cigarette.
