Scientists are warning that a new wave of cancer caused by vaping could happen in around a decade's time. The alert follows a series of studies carried out by the Francis Crick Institute (FCI).
They were investigating why around one in eight patients diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK do not smoke, The Independent reported. This is despite smoking being one of the leading causes of the disease.
Researchers said that, although vaping is safer than smoking cigarettes, the long-term effects on people's health remains unclear. Some 3.6 million people in the UK vape and it is common among ex-smokers who are trying to quit.
