Science Vs · Vaping: Does It Really Cause Cancer? · 23 Apr 2026 podcast

Yeah.

I mean, of course, because we know smoking causes cancer, and we're not even sure about that with vaping, right?

All of these DNA-damaging chemicals, so much higher in smokers.

Yes.

And when we go back to our survey of scientists, remember those cautious fence-sitting nerds?

Uh-huh.

Well, on this question of is vaping more dangerous than smoking, they were much more clear-eyed.

90% said smoking is more dangerous than vaping.

And the rest said probably not.

One person said, it's hard to say.

So, you know, 90%, that is like dentist-recommended Colgate.

Rock solid.

I think we can say vaping is still safer than smoking, and we did not lie to our audience in song.

Oh, gosh, I know.

So I think the broad message around vaping...

When compared to smoking, it hasn't changed that much.

I mean, when Science Versus did our first episode on vaping, one of the key scientists I interviewed said, quote, because the danger of cigarettes is so stratospherically high, it's like comparing the 15th highest mountain in the world, that would be vaping, to Mount Everest.

And the joke I made back then, which I still think is pretty good, is that climbing Mount Gaya Chung Kang is still pretty tricky.

Yeah.
