At the congress of the International Association of Dentists in Alexandria, the opinion was expressed that smoking electronic cigarettes (wakes) is a provoking factor in the development of oral cancer, Eurekalert. In this regard, scientists are convinced, electronic cigarettes are not safer than ordinary cigarettes.

In particular, the researcher of the University of California, Benjamin Chaffi, studied the effects on the human body of carcinogens from various types of tobacco - cigarettes, cigars, hookahs, rolls, wakes, chewing tobacco and nicotine substitutes.

The performed analysis showed: the highest predisposition to the development of cancer of the oral cavity and esophagus - in smokers of conventional cigarettes. But among consumers of other types of tobacco, such smokers almost caught up with fans of wakes.

When smoking electronic cigarettes, toxic compounds are formed, which are formed when the liquid is burned on the filament of incandescence, these substances have a carcinogenic effect on the mucosa of the oral cavity and esophagus,. In addition, experts argue:

smoking wakes do not help to become independent of the addiction, on the contrary, it only strengthens.

With regard to other types of smoking, the authors of the study concluded: most people who use nicotine in any form, in addition to cigarettes, receive about the same amount of carcinogens as regular smokers. In this sense, none of the species is preferable - the risk of the appearance of oral cancer for all is equalized.
