First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether e-cigarettes cause hidden damage to gums, even when they appear healthy. Researchers measured certain chemicals in the fluid around the gums of 60 people: e-cigarette users, regular smokers, and non-smokers. The goal was to see if vaping triggers inflammation or tissue breakdown similar to smoking.
