“Do e-cigarettes reduce the risk of heart attacks?”
I know that smoking can put one at a high risk of health conditions like heart attacks and lung cancer. Do e-cigarettes help? Should I use them to help me quit?

Data is still being accumulated regarding some of your questions. Currently, recommendations support that E-cigs are probably better than real cigarettes.
E-cigarettes are bad too. Please figure out what works for you, hypnotism, Chantix, cold turkey, patches or e-cigarettes, but PLEASE stop tobacco use. Congratulations on taking the first step. All the best, not easy, but you can do it.
Don’t use
They can help you to quit smoking but it is not going to reduce your risk of a heart attack.
Thanks for your question.
Smoking E-cigarettes may have less impact on developing hypertensive heart disease and its exacerbation. This is due to the absence of the paper component in E-cigarettes. However, there is no evidence that E-cigarettes are less harmful to human health in any form.

We don’t have enough information long-term to know if they cause throat or lung cancer or coronary artery disease
