  • The growing research that links vaping to oral cancer suggests the urgent need for greater awareness and preventive action. Regular dental check-ups, lifestyle changes, and quitting or reducing e-cigarette use can significantly lower risks.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the concerning link between vaping and oral health, particularly the increased risk of oral cancer. It highlights that while vaping is often marketed as a safer alternative to smoking, recent studies suggest it can still lead to significant health issues. Vaping exposes users to harmful chemicals like nicotine, formaldehyde, and various volatile organic compounds, which can irritate and damage oral tissues. This damage can manifest as gum disease, tooth decay, and potentially precancerous lesions. The article cites research indicating that e-cigarette users have a higher incidence of oral health problems compared to non-users, with some studies showing a direct correlation between vaping and an elevated risk of oral cancer. It emphasizes the need for greater awareness and possibly stricter regulations on vaping products to mitigate these health risks.
