Lungs are simply not made for absorption of substances. The tissues are very delicate and are there for the exchange of gases. Everything else is a pollution.
The first research article claiming DNA damage is a dead link. It says error:this is not a published article or something like that.
The second cited research is an abstract claiming that 20% of mice developed lung cancer after being exposed to vape smoke for 9 weeks. The methodology is blocked behind a paywall, but I’m betting they concentrated trace components and that blasted mice with it for two months straight. This isn’t very informative; if I concentrated the carcinogens found in normal city air, I could probably achieve a better kill rate in mice.
Tobacco has a host of carcinogens. No matter where you put tobacco -mouth, lungs, bladder, nose,ass, whatever-it causes cancer. Claiming that nicotine causes lung cancer but nicotine gum is safe is pretty ridiculous.
how so? isn’t it the smoke that’s bad?

I suspect it’s what got mixed in the nicotine it is probably impossible to have a pure nicotine. I haven’t read the article to be fair.
I read it. It’s not compelling.

I suspect it has to do with repeated inhalation of something that is not air, but I’m not a doctor nor a scientist so this is purely vibes
