Fears vaping could cause CANCER: Shock study reveals e-cigs damage DNA just like smoking as top...

British and Austrian experts analysed cells taken from both smokers and vapers. READ MORE: Experts reveal the truth about vaping and health and their worriesVaping can trigger cell changes which may go onto cause cancer, a shock study suggests.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill will raise the age of tobacco sale by one year every year so that anyone turning 15 this year or younger will never legally be sold cigarettes. Figures show that one in five children has tried vaping despite it being illegal for under-18s, while the number of children using vapes has tripled in the past three years.

Crucially, similar changes were observed in the cells of e-cigarette users who had smoked fewer than 100 tobacco cigarettes in their lives. Scientists say that by studying this, it can allow them to 'look back' and see how the body has responded to previous environmental exposures such as smoking or vaping.Computer analysis of mouth swabs showed substantial epigenomic changes in smokers but also in those using e-cigarettes, according to the findings published in the Cancer Research journal.

Researchers now hope to further investigate how these changes picked up on cheek swabs could be used for identifying individuals at highest risk of developing cancer in future. Commenting on the findings, George Laking, director of the Centre for Cancer Research, University of Auckland, said they should be viewed with caution, adding that the development of cancer 'is a multi-step process'.

Prime Candy on Oxford Street, where MailOnline last year found huge vape displays alongside many different types of American sweets Other powers in the Bill mean enforcement officers will be able to give £100 on-the-spot fines to clamp down on underage sales of tobacco and vaping products.It will also be illegal for retailers to give free samples of vapes to under-18s.

The Bill will also effectively ban the next generation from being able to buy cigarettes by raising the age of tobacco sale by one year every year with the aim of stopping today's youngsters from ever taking up smoking. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, said: 'If we want to build a better future for our children we need to tackle the single biggest entirely preventable cause of ill-health, disability and death: smoking.
