US EditionAustralian Study: E-Cigarettes Likely Cause Lung and Oral Cancer
The review analyzed more than 100 studies and found nicotine vapes cause DNA damage, inflammation and lung tumors in lab and animal tests.
- A comprehensive UNSW review of more than 100 studies concludes that e-cigarettes are likely to cause oral and lung cancer, with lead author Professor Bernard Stewart stating vaping is hazardous in its own right.
- Researchers sought to assess "the carcinogenic impact of e-cigarettes in their own right," challenging the marketing narrative that vaping serves as a safer, less smelly alternative to burning tobacco leaves.
- The review identified DNA damage, oxidative stress, and inflammation as biomarkers, while laboratory experiments in mice confirmed lung tumors developed directly from exposure to vape aerosols.
- Johns Hopkins Medicine physician Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos warned that "damage is happening" even if effects are not immediately visible, cautioning that current usage creates conditions leading to future disease.
- As e-cigarettes were introduced about 20 years ago, experts argue against waiting decades to act; Sitas noted, "Though smoking was once given the benefit of doubt," the same should not now be accorded to vaping.
