Vaping likely causes lung and oral cancer, researchers find
A major review of evidence led by UNSW Sydney has concluded that vaping is likely to cause lung and oral cancer, finding that cells and tissues in the mouth and lungs are measurably altered by e-cigarette inhalation. Researchers are urging regulators to act immediately rather than wait decades for the kind of ironclad proof that took generations to establish for tobacco. The findings draw on animal studies, human case reports, and laboratory data.
