    Since vaping has been around since 2006, we should have seen a whole lot of such cases, if it’s likely.

      Take a look at the timeline for cigarettes. The time between something causing harm and someone putting together the statistics to prove that it does is not that short. 2006 was like yesterday. Kids that started vaping as children in 2006 aren’t even old enough for a midlife crisis yet.

      It takes over 25 years to see cancer effects of smoking.

      But any source of inflammation is an increased risk of cancer.

      It’s a matter of how much attention was put on the matter before and after

      Actual researches could’ve existed for a while or were left stagnant prior to the current trend, which attracted a fresh group of curious minds to continue where the last left off.

        Actually not. Trump killed the NCI so there will be little/no research on this. Ignorance is bliss.

          Then we better hope the rest of the world, which also has their own respective research agencies, step up and perform their jobs as expected.

          It sucks to see the Hegemone implode, but luckily everyone from top to bottom is seeing it from a mile away.

          Ignorance only lasts so long until the first pinch of fear is felt.
