New study finds hidden diabetes danger in vaping
Research from the University of Georgia shows that using e-cigarettes, traditional cigarettes, or both increases the risk of developing diabetes. Lead author Sulakshan Neupane highlights the potential health risks associated with e-cigarette use, with vaping alone linked to a 7% increase in prediabetes risk. The study also found that smoking cigarettes or cigars raised prediabetes risk by 15%, with even higher risks for dual users. Factors such as weight, income, and demographics further influenced the likelihood of developing these conditions. Neupane suggests that regular physical activity may help counter some harmful effects. The study emphasizes the need for public health efforts to address smoking and diabetes outcomes.
