Major Review Concludes Nicotine Vaping Likely Causes Lung and Oral Cancers

A comprehensive new review, led by UNSW Sydney and published in the journal Carcinogenesis, has concluded that nicotine-based e-cigarettes are likely to cause lung and oral cancers. The study evaluated a broad range of international research, including human biomarkers, animal studies, and laboratory findings, challenging the notion that vaping is a harmless alternative to smoking and suggesting that health risks may be emerging sooner than anticipated.
