A few papers carrying the story today referring to research that claims vaping causes damage to DNA and hinders DNA repair.
The research was done on mice and the conclusions are extrapolated to claim a cause for concern. Will wait for Dr Farsalinos (http://www.ecigarette-research.org/research/index.php) to reply and see if he can summarise in easier to understand language.
Won't link to articles, but links to research journal and pdf below.
Bit of a long read.

FOR NEW VAPERS - This is a common occurrence for research like this to crop up from time to time. They can be funded by Big Tobacco and/or Big Pharma sometimes to further their agenda. Usually there are faults in the methods used as they do not simulate real life conditions. JUST REMEMBER, that quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your health with whatever means possible. Vaping is currently the most popular successful method. Vaping is not safe BUT IT IS AT LEAST 95% safer than traditional cigarettes.
