"Study Links Vaping to Cancer Risk with Similar DNA Damage as Smoking"

A study by British and Austrian experts suggests that vaping can trigger cell changes that may lead to cancer, as e-cigarette users were found to exhibit similar DNA changes as smokers. The research, which analyzed over 3,500 samples, found substantial epigenomic changes in the mouth cells of both smokers and e-cigarette users. While e-cigarettes are considered safer than smoking, the study highlights the potential long-term risks and links to cancer, emphasizing the need for further research to uncover their potential impacts on human health.
