Is it true that E-cigarette use causes cancer in humans?
Partly. One small cytology study found e-cigarette use appeared safe for oral cells, while a toxicology review and a systematic review report DNA damage in human oral cells and raised cancer susceptibility from e-cigarette flavorings. No retrieved item directly establishes that e-cigarette use causes cancer in humans.
