Vaping Can Trigger Gene Changes in Cells

of 82 healthy adults who were either: current vapers, with and without a prior history of smoking; people who exclusively smoke cigarettes; and a control group of never-smokers and never-vapers.

"We found that more than 80% of gene dysregulation in vapers correlated with the intensity and duration of current vaping," Besaratinia said."Whereas none of the detected gene dysregulation in vapers correlated to their prior [cigarette] smoking intensity or duration.", he noted. "When mitochondria become dysfunctional, they release key molecules," Besaratinia explained."The released molecules can function as signals for the immune system, triggering an immune response that leads to inflammation, which is not only important for maintaining health but also plays a critical role in the development of various diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, metabolic diseases and cancer.

In previous research, Besaratinia and his colleagues found that e-cigarette users develop some of the same cancer-related molecular changes in oral tissue as cigarette smokers, and that vapers have the same kind of cancer-linked chemical changes to their genome as smokers. "Given the popularity of e-cigarettes among young never-smokers, our findings will be of importance to the regulatory agencies," Besaratinia said."To protect public health, these agencies are in urgent need of scientific evidence to inform the regulation of the manufacture, distribution and marketing of e-cigarettes."

I don't know why anyone would vape,the in thing to do. Crazy never wanted to follow the crowd.

For those who think WebMD is a reliable source for accurate health information, think again. From the study: 1. 'the number of [differentially expressed genes] in smokers was ~ 7.4 times higher than that in vapers' 2. Only 7 vapers were never smokers

How? It doesn't have all the poisons that tobacco does for starters. And it's steam not smoke.
