E-Cigarettes Usage Can Result In Damage For The DNA, Which Can Lead To Cancer    

Its Use Is Relatively New, And Long-Term Effects Are Unknown    

E-cigarettes are considered a safer alternative than traditional cigarettes because they don’t have the harmful components that produce lung and throat cancer. However, its use is relatively new, and the long-term effects are unknown. A recent study has shown that the can cause modifications in the genetic material in the cells of the oral cavity, which can increase the risk of cancer. These changes are caused by the chemicals in the e-cigarettes, which are converted in vapor (which is why its usage is called vaping). Researchers collected saliva samples from users after a session of vaping and found three DNA-damaging compounds. If the cell does not repair the damage, the result could be abnormal DNA replication, which can result in cancer. According to specialists, e-cigarettes are a different kind of threat to the body, which does not mean it is completely safe – it exposes the body to another substance that can be harmful.
