Vaping Strongly Linked to Lung Cancer

Recent research from Seoul National University reveals a strong association between vaping and lung cancer among former smokers. Analyzing data from over 4.5 million Korean adults, the study found that individuals who vaped after quitting traditional cigarettes had a 56 percent higher risk of developing lung cancer compared to those who quit entirely.

Alarmingly, the lung cancer-specific death rate among vape users nearly doubled, with a 91 percent higher risk than non-vape users. While the study does not definitively establish causality, it underscores the need for further research into the relationship between vaping and lung cancer.
