Switching to e-cigarettes from smoking

2018-04-02 12:36:49
I'm having high cholesterol now because of family history. I'm 26 years old, 73kg and 6' tall. Right now I have a total cholesterol of around 280 and LDL 220, and 40 HDL. Can I switch to e-cigarettes? Is that much safer? Does nicotine have a direct effect on cholesterol? I had anger issues last time I tried to quit. I'm again on that quitting attempt phase. Not sure how long I can hold on. What would you recommend?
