Vaping 'more harmful than smoking' says leading cancer expert
A leading cancer expert warns that vaping poses a greater health risk than smoking cigarettes.Summary
While cigarette smoking rates in the UK have reached a record low, the use of e-cigarettes has risen to a similar level. Dr. William Li, a globally renowned physician and cancer researcher, strongly challenges the common belief that vaping is a safer alternative to smoking. He asserts that vaping is a definite cancer risk, with lab and clinical evidence showing that the chemicals in vaping solutions are more irritating and toxic than traditional tobacco. Dr. Li argues that these chemicals may even be more DNA-mutating. Dr. Jeremy London, a board-certified surgeon, concurs with this assessment, rating vaping a 10 on a scale of severity. He noted that while smoking is the single worst habit, vaping presents serious health risks, including concerning alterations in cardiovascular function and worse performance during exercise stress tests. Dr. London emphasized that both smoking and vaping involve putting toxins into the lungs.
