Nicotine used in e-cigarette vapour is not as risk-free as originally thought, although vaping is considered less harmful to overall human health than smoking tobacco. Recent studies with mice have shown that vaping actually does cause considerable damage; although these results don’t necessary directly translate to the same risks in humans. A new study has shown that e-cigarette smoke damages DNA in the heart, lungs and bladder in mice. It was discovered that nicotine in the e-cigarette vapour made cells less able to repair DNA damage, possibly contributing to lung and bladder cancer, and heart disease. Vaping also damages key blood vessels in the heart in a similar way to normal cigarettes. Claims that vaping causes cancer, at this point, is still considered a false alarm or fake news. Many vapers are ex-smokers using e-cigarettes to quit smoking and vaping is still considered than harmful then smoking.
