According to the analysis, human and animal studies, as well as cell experiments looking at the effects of chemicals found in vape liquid, all point toward carcinogenicity. Those studies, published since 2017, record “increasing concern”, the researchers report.
We don’t have long-term, population-level data yet, so the exact risk cannot be quantified, but the early signs are strong enough that scientists are warning against repeating the mistakes made with cigarettes.
“Though smoking was once given the benefit of doubt,” write study co-authors Freddy Sitas and Bernard Stewart of the University of New South Wales in Australia in a related commentary, “the same should not now be accorded to vaping given the strength of relevant carcinogenicity data.”
Vaping emerged in the early 2000s, touted as a safer, less smelly delivery system for the addictive chemical nicotine than methods that involve inhaling the smoke of burning tobacco leaves. Instead, a device heats and vaporizes a nicotine-containing liquid, which the user then inhales.
