It's March 30th. Sinny News Today starts now, AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. A groundbreaking review from Australian scientists just dropped, declaring vaping likely causes oral and lung cancer. Led by Professor Bernard Stewart from the University of New South Wales, it's the first solid link like this, based on lap tests, animal studies, and human biomarkers. No more dodging the truth. Vapes pack real cancer risks on their own. Vapes couldn't wait for decades-long human trials since vaping so new, with cancer showing up 10 to 30 years later. Instead, they pulled together evidence showing vade chemicals like nicotine derivatives, nickel, and flavorings caused DNA damage, inflammation, and tissue changes that screen cancer down the line. Experts are sounding the alarm, saying, don't pit vapes against cigarettes like some lesser evil that's let tobacco companies off the hook. Even heartbreaking case, a 19-year-old heavy vapor died from aggressive mouth cancer with

no other risks. Meanwhile, young adults aged 18 to 24 still vape at stubborn rates, about 1 in 5. Mouth studies back it up hard. One exposed to vape aerosols developed lung cancer way more than controls, plus bladder changes pointing to tumors. Other rodent work shows oxidative stress in genomic hits, and top nicotine researchers like Brian Oliver say the evidence stacks up enough to warn everyone. Bottom line, skip the vapes if you never smoked, their hazardous straight up. Long time smokers keep using prescribed ones from pharmacies to quit, since cigarettes kill two out of three users. This review aims to flip the script on youth addiction before it's too late.
