What in cigarettes was causing heart attacks? Nicotine?
Yeah, nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. Smaller blood vessels = higher blood pressure and higher risk of heart attacks and stroke.
I've been using the nicotine pouches and there's only addiction warning labels on them. But the whole time I'm thinking, I'm pretty certain nicotine isn't good for the heart..
