Level of DNA Damage Similar for Vapers and Smokers
A group of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC analyzed epithelial cells taken from the mouths of vapers, smokers, and people who had never vaped or smoked. They found that vapers and smokers had similar levels of DNA damage, more than twice the amount found in non-users.
