Smoking/vaping combo poses health risks, research suggests

A new study warns against the misconception that switching between cigarettes and vape pens reduces cancer risk. Dual users of both have similar exposure to nicotine and carcinogens as exclusive cigarette smokers. Tobacco cessation programs are urged as a safer alternative, as dual-use is deemed ineffective for health protection. Clinicians are advised to promote awareness on the risks of dual-use, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based cessation programs. Stronger FDA regulation of tobacco products, including illegal ones, is recommended to safeguard public health. The research underscores the need to prioritize tobacco prevention and cessation efforts.
