A new study from University College London reveals that vaping causes DNA changes similar to those seen in smokers with lung cancer.
This finding suggests potential cancer risk associated with e-cigarettes.
Researchers compared DNA samples from vapers, smokers, and non-smokers.
The DNA of vapers showed changes resembling those linked to cancer risk in smokers.
While e-cigarettes are widely considered less harmful than tobacco cigarettes, scientists emphasize that they are not entirely risk-free.
More research is needed to fully understand the long-term health effects of vaping.
The study highlights the importance of further investigation into the potential dangers of vaping and underscores the need for continued efforts to reduce smoking, which remains a leading cause of preventable death.
This research was published in the journal Cancer Research.
