The question of their use as a harm reduction strategy is a hotly debated topic—pitting traditional combustible tobacco with its well-known effect on morbidity and mortality against electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), which although not harmless, are considered less harmful than smoked cigarettes. Recent evidence is emerging on the potential cardiovascular risks posed by newer generations of ENDS with far greater delivery of nicotine. Join us while we discuss the findings from a recent study that examines ENDS use and associated increase rates of erectile dysfunction (ED) and how this information may impact your practice.   Episode resource links: El-Shahawy O, Shah T, Obisesan OH, Durr M, Stokes AC, Uddin I, Pinjani R, Benjamin
