Australian report published in April
it’s not just vapour
between vapes and cavities.
“We stumbled upon this [potential link] by accident and then the more we learned about it, the more we thought, ‘OK, this could be a bad thing,'” from Tufts University who led the study said.
Since vapes took off in the mainstream around 2019 their popularity has ballooned.
In Victoria, 15.2 per cent of young women aged between 18 and 24 reported vaping regularly published in October 2022. That’s up from just 2 per cent in 2019.
But despite the exposition of the number of vapers out there, there has been very little research into the effects. This is because research takes time and so far not enough people have been vaping longterm for the effects to be evident.
To put this into perspective, people have been smoking tobacco for centuries and it was first *suspected* as a cause of lung tumours in 1898. Studies into the effects began in the early 20th century but doctors kept prescribing cigarettes as treatments for a number of ailments for decades. In the 1960s a poll revealed that 43 per cent of American doctors were still smoking cigarettes on a regular basis. It wasn’t until enough people had died from lung cancer that the link between cigarette smoke and lung cancer became a widely accepted fact. So it could be years before we really know the effects of vaping.
Early studies into vaping have concluded people who vape are at a higher risk of seizures and lung damage. An also found vape smoke (, sorry) increased the risk of multiple, terrible health outcomes like seizures, lung injury and of course addiction, which is no fun at all.
I for one so wish me luck on my quitting journey.
“Nicotine is a key ingredient and one of the most addictive substances known,” lead author of the report Emily Banks said at the time.
“Young non-smokers who vape are around three times as likely to take up smoking than non-vapers.”
