## Resource

A 2026 scientific review concludes vaping is likely to cause lung and oral cancer, shifting the conversation from uncertainty to clear concern The damage from vaping starts at the cellular level, where DNA injury, oxidative stress and inflammation build long before symptoms appear E-cigarette aerosol contains a mix of cancer-linked chemicals, including nitrosamines, toxic gases and metals released from the device itself Using both cigarettes and vaping products at the same time dramatically increases your lung cancer risk instead of reducing harm Eliminating vaping exposure, improving metabolic health and using exercise to break nicotine dependence directly lowers your risk and helps your body recover
