Could vaping cause lung cancer by inflammation?

[logbas34]

Okay so being a soon to be nursing student I've been researching about lung cancer because I smoked about 1 year and I wanna reduce my chances of getting lung cancer.

so I found an article talking about how "inflammation may be a risk of cancer."

the topic which was back in 2002 said that many types of cancer become present more often with the presence of chronic inflammation.

now I have heard that e-liquid causes inflammation, if this is true could this possibly increase the risk of lung cancer? I'm not saying its a direct cause, but it could maybe increase the risk of getting it in the future.

also the use of Cox-2 Inhibitors have in 1 study shown major slash in lung cancer risk.
and furthermore in this study Ibuprofen and aspirin have shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer up to 1/3.

what are your thoughts on this? I know this study was old but since the breakthrough of e-cigarettes, I believe this is relevant once again?

please let me know what you think, especially any medical professionals!!

JMO~ There hasnt been any studies that in depth with the ecigs/pv's if there was we would be able to win this battle with FDA and ALA and ASH or Vice versa they would be able to prove without doubt they were as bad as they rumor the pv.

Where have you heard it can cause inflamation? In fact, PG is something that prevents lung inflamation, so I'd be inclined to assume a reduced risk.

Honestly I don't remember i think it was when people were talking about pg issues irritating lungs so thats what i might have been thinking of

Have a link to the study you're talking about?

vaping has reduced the inflamation in my lungs to the point that I no longer take half of my asthma meds.
