Abstract

We aim to summarise the latest evidence to better inform OMFS practitioners about the deleterious effects of vaping on oral health and the risks of oral cancer, so they can better inform their patients. Current evidence suggests that e-cigarette use is not risk-free.

Keywords: e-cigarettes; head and neck cancer; oral cancer.
