Summary
New research from Canterbury University warns that vaping may significantly increase cancer risk, as heating vape liquids produces carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde — levels comparable to those known to cause cancer in animals. While experts acknowledge vaping might help smokers quit, they stress it’s not risk-free, especially for those who haven’t smoked before. The vaping industry counters that no direct human cancer cases have been proven after two decades of use, calling the study theoretical. Still, the science suggests even regulated vaping carries long-term health dangers. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
