Vaping has been known for its association with respiratory disease and nicotine addiction. Now, a new study, building upon previous evidence, has found that among teens, vaping often may spike the risk of exposure to lead and uranium — potentially harming brain and organ development in young people.

“This study analyzed a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescent e-cigarette use to examine whether urine metal levels (i.e., cadmium, lead and uranium) differed by vaping frequency and flavor types,” said Dr. Hongying Daisy Dai, senior author of the study published Monday in the journal Tobacco Control, via email.

Vaping has slightly declined among teens. The use of e-cigarettes among high schoolers decreased from 14.1% to 10% from 2022 to 2023, the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey found. But for this group, the behavior has remained a public health concern and the most popular form of consuming tobacco (in the form of nicotine) since 2014, Dai said.

As of December 2023, only 23 tobacco-flavored e-cigarette products are authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration for sale in the United States, after the agency effectively banned all flavors of cartridge-based vape pens except menthol and tobacco to prevent young people from vaping. The ban, however, does not include disposable e-cigarettes or their respective e-liquids, which come in a variety of flavors.

Dai and coauthors found that among teens who vaped intermittently — for six to 19 days total out of the past 30 days — urine lead levels were 40% higher compared with occasional vapers, defined as one to five days out of the past month. For those who vaped frequently — 20 days or more — levels were 30% higher. And e-cigarette users who preferred sweet flavors had higher levels of uranium in their urine than those who favored menthol or mint flavor, said Dai, a professor in the department of biostatistics at University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Nearly 90% of youth who vape use flavored e-cigarettes, according to the National Youth Tobacco Survey.

Given that e-cigarette aerosol is known to contain various potentially harmful compounds including metals, Dai wasn’t surprised by the findings, she said.

However, chronic exposure to metals, “even at low levels, can lead to detrimental health impacts, affecting cardiovascular, renal, cognitive and psychiatric functions,” she added.

The study was conducted at one point in time, so the authors couldn’t control for chronic or long-term exposure. But “no form of tobacco consumption is safe for young individuals,” Dai said. “Parents should be aware of the harmfulness of e-cigarette use and advise their children to quit vaping.”

Expert opinions on the findings are mixed.

“This is a well-conducted study underscoring the need to carefully monitor exposure in e-cigarette users and highlights the fact that e-cigarettes are not risk free,” said Dr. Lion Shahab, professor of health psychology at University College London and codirector of the UCL Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group, in a news release.

“However, these findings also need to be seen in context,” Shahab, who wasn’t involved in the study, added. “Uranium specifically has many different important sources of exposure (including food, water connected to geographic location), which were not controlled for in this analysis. Further, previous work has not found differences in uranium exposure between non-users and users of e-cigarettes nor detected uranium in e-cigarette aerosol, suggesting this finding may be explained by other factors.

Lead, however, has been detected in e-cigarette aerosol in previous research, Shahab added. Yet the urine levels reported in this study, even in frequent vapers, are below or similar to those found in the general population and in adults who don’t vape."

Which basically says we don't really have any evidence this is linked to or limited to vapers.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ️ ️‍
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:16-26 ️

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 5:3-7 ️

3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
