E-cigarettes said to be ‘no better’ than regular ones

E-cigarettes are possibly “no better” than smoking regular cigarettes and may cause cancer, scientists have warned.

According to a new study, the vapour from the electronic devices damages and kills human cells during lab tests.

Dr Jessica Wang-Rodriguez, co-author of the study, said: “Based on the evidence, to date, I believe they are no better than smoking regular cigarettes.”
