More people who wish to quit smoking are turning to e-cigarettes, which is considered to be a safer alternative. Previous studies stated that vaping or using e-cigarettes, compared to tobacco smoking, will not cause cancer. However, a new study performed by a team of researchers at the New York University found that vaping raises cancer risk.
According to a study by British American Tobacco last year, exposure to e-cigarette vapors did not damage any human cells, refuting a 2015 study that stated it did. But this new study, appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, questions the long-held belief that vaping and e-cigarettes are safe. Although e-cigarettes contain nicotine, they are usually advertised as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes. E-cigs don’t contain extra chemicals, like irritants, carcinogenic compounds, and allergens that are present in regular cigarettes.
