Listen: Bad News: Vaping Nicotine Linked to Lung Cancer in Mice

"Six saying that he said to me cause cancer apparently exposure to the nicotine from he said vapor causes lung cancer in mice this is a study by the national institutes of health and it's a first to definitively link vaping nicotine to cancer he said vapor causes lung cancer but there's a bladder cancer in mice by damaging the DNA and leading researchers at New York University conclude that baby in is likely very harmful to humans as well well we all knew that but we kind of need to know why when I was telling people they can not good a couple years ago people like why well now we've got something we could say well because you know in mice because his now how carcinogenic it is is a for humans we don't know but this was the first aid to defending the link vaping nicotine cancer meaning rather VP marijuana that's why there's invading nicotine most people that faith usually they picketing and I just got nicotine is carcinogenic in that it will paralyze the cilia the brush border the kindest views things out of the locks so when you get pollutants that can start to cause lung damage if your brush border or silly it isn't working you can't get out your lungs now study by U. S. C. found that he said users develop the same molecular changes and oral tissue that cause cancer cigarette smokers remember there was a study finding that we could be at risk for mouth cancer if we vape now the N. Y. U. study found along the bladder cancer and they found that the DNA damage prevents you from fixing the DNA damage I want to shoes so what they did is they took forty mice expose of the eastern vapor nicotine over fifty four weeks twenty two point five percent of lung cancer fifty seven percent of all pre cancerous lesions in the bladder none of the twenty mice exposed he six smoke without nicotine develop cancer over the four years so they think they have if the vaping liquid didn't have nicotine it seems safer then I could see now most people very you know unless they're just there is a really really try to get off smoking so if the average person's baby nicotine that's a problem so now these results kind of high in the need for more research all right according to see and be seen based on the findings of mice they have to now extrapolate that to humans now we can't take you know people go why are we so slow to get data were always so slow to figure this out well because you can't take much humans and subject them to vaping smoke what they did the mice because if you do cause cancer human that's a no no you're not allowed to hurt people in research when you do research you have to go through a lot of training and you have to you know basically promise that you're not gonna do a study that hurts people so then all you can really do is do observational studies or retrospective studies regal back in time a global this person to this this was a this was really bad I mean that's how we figured out that smoking was bad it took his decades they were like wait a second all these people of lung cancer and they're like is a pollution is a something in the air is that the Russians know was probably smoking and they found the people that didn't smoke doesn't get lung cancer as quickly as those who did it and then they figured out that all those girls are the heart and the good cholesterol because a variety of things so you know it took them some time to figure that out was smoking now the amount of smoke but the mice were exposed to was similar to what a human would inhale if a vape regularly for about three to six years so what they did is they kind of projected that if a or they tried to compare their findings with my eyes were kind of a quake to a human smoking for three to six years they but the mice didn't inhale like humans when you have like I mean they really suck it up the money's were just passive breathing kind of it all and so get away you can't really project what would happen with humans the problem we have though is that if you have millions of people addicted to nicotine and we've made it impossible for them to smoke almost there now we're gonna start making it impossible for them to vape what are we going to do the people that need what we're we're going to ship them to marijuana is probably going to be a go to or people Michael back to cigarettes so you know we need to be very very careful and try to offer other alternatives may be a nicotine patch com I"
