Amid continuing debate over the safety of e-cigarettes, which have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional smoking, new research suggests that some of the vaping flavors may be more toxic to users health than others, potentially causing widespread cell inflammation.
In a study published last month in the medical journal Tobacco Control, researchers from Roswell Park Cancer Institute in New York determined that flavors impacted the level of toxic chemicals in the vapor. E-cigarette vapor was more cytotoxic when flavored, especially when flavored with strawberry.
