MisleadingHealth16/05/2026 The Real Effects of E-Cigarettes: What Every Vaper Needs to Know
The mozaikvilag.hu article on e-cigarettes contains several inaccurate or misleading claims: the Tufts ‘79% tooth decay risk’ does not refer to a 79% higher relative risk (as the article suggests). Instead, according to the study, 79% of e-cigarette users were classified in the high caries-risk category, compared to about 60% of non-users (Irusa et al., 2022, JADA). The cited JCI study was an animal (mouse) experiment, and the claimed connection between vaping and Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease lacks strong supporting evidence from human studies. While real risks associated with e-cigarettes do exist, the article presents them with exaggerations and misleading interpretations of the scientific sources.
