Due to the lack of data around the long-term safety profile of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), the National Cancer Institute has issued grant P50CA180890 to further the research. These products have already been linked to blood vessel damage, and experts who treat lung cancer have raised concern about e-cigarettes and their correlation with lung cancer risk.1,2
The FDA also recently published general safety concerns including what risks one should be aware of if using e-cigarettes, vaporizers, or other tobacco products. While studies suggest e-cigarettes may be less harmful than combustible cigarettes, the FDA notes that there is not yet enough evidence to support claims that e-cigarettes and other electronic nicotine delivery systems are effective tools for smoking cessation.3
While information has come out stating the negative effects of e-cigarettes on lung health, questions regarding the longer-term safety of these products remain due to their limited timespan on the market.
