US EditionAustralian Study: E-Cigarettes Likely Cause Lung and Oral Cancer
Researchers said the review of more than 100 studies found DNA damage, inflammation and mouse tumors in evidence that vapes may cause cancer.
- 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.

As early as the 1880s, there was evidence that smoking tobacco damaged your lungs. But it took almost 100 years to definitively show that smoking causes lung cancer. So, what about vapes? Until now, most research that has looked at the cancer risk for people using vapes, also known as electronic or e-cigarettes, has mainly […] The post Strongest evidence yet that vaping likely causes cancer appeared first on Interaksyon.
