New Study Warns Vaping Causes Cancer

E-cigarettes – which deliver an instant nicotine "hit" without burning tobacco – have been widely promoted as a safer alternative to cigarettes.

But findings from a new study suggest they are far from harmless, and could pose a serious health risk.

In laboratory tests, mice exposed to e-cigarette smoke had higher levels of DNA damage in the heart, lungs and bladder than those breathing normal filtered air.

DNA repair systems – which protect against cancer – were also weakened.

A US team led by Dr Moon-shong Tang, from New York University School of Medicine, warn that vapers may be increasing their risk of life-threatening conditions. Posted by Abdul
