That’s unlikely to be surprising. Would really love to know what the impact is in smokers versus an actual cigarette.
Isn’t nicotine already known to have this effect?

It seems clear that e-cigs are better than smoking.
It also seems clear that e-cig manufacturers are hoping to hook young non-smokers to expand their market.
Both are valuable bits of info, but "e-cigs do confirmed damage" is extremely important info from a public health perspective.

The vascular effects are very similar to prior research on cigarette smoke. It's precisely the same initial effects thought to lead to heart disease in smokers.
edit: You my have edited your comment while I was relying. The second of two sentences under Background (first section) mentions that this was a nicotine free study unlike earlier ones.

That's correct but I worry that all this will result in banning e-cigs (in my state at least), based on the idea that cigarettes (and many other things) wouldn't have been legal/popular if they appeared today but we tolerate them because they are already a thing. The last thing I want is for my SO to go back to smoking real cigs because e-cigs become unavailable here :(

I'd like to see them made available via a prescription for smoking cessation.

It should also be clear that not using electronic cigarettes is better than using them.

Yes, nicotine itself is known to have this impact on the vascular system.
Not surprising you see it with nicotine vaping.

The industry is going to fight that conclusion tooth and nail, though, so solid evidence of it is valuable.

I've never seen anyone argue they are harmless, just that they are less harmful than actual cigarettes.
The problem is that places are banning e-cigs, which presumably drives people back to smoking. Which is worse for everyone.
