E-cigarettes Cause Cancer: New Study Warns

0:00It's March 31st. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Vancouver News today, your AI-powered local news. A new review in the journal Carcinogenesis says e-cigarettes are likely to cause cancer in the lungs and mouth. Led by cancer researcher Bernard Stewart from the University of New South Wales, it pulls together clinical data, animal studies, and lab evidence to. Show vapes with nicotine can harm human cells on their own, not just compare to regular smokes. Researchers skipped waiting for decades of population data and focused on direct proof. They found mouth and lung tissues change from vaping aerosols. In mouse tests, exposed animals got lung tumors way more often than others, plus bladder issues tied to cancer risks. This hits hard because so many people do use vaping and smoking at the same time. Over half can't quit either have it, and recent US data shows that combo jumps lung cancer odds four times higher. The study doesn't give exact risk numbers yet, it's more about the clear warning signs.

1:02Experts compare it to early tobacco days when science ignored red flags for 80 years before acting. Public health folks say, don't ditch vapes for six, they're still deadlier, but this pushes regulators to move fast on vaping's rise, especially with, youth jumping in heavy. Time to rethink that safer alternative label.
