A new study from the University of Connecticut has found the vapor from electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes – which are often seen and marketed as a safer alternative – can cause as much DNA damage as smoke from tobacco cigarettes. The results surprised the researchers, who concluded that e-cigarettes are "potentially as harmful as tobacco cigarettes." While a flurry of ongoing research is attempting to determine the long-term health effects of e-cigarettes, the "vaping" trend is getting more and more popular – currently, nearly three million adults in Great Britain alone use e-cigarettes.

Breast Cancer: Expectations vs. Reality by Dr. Hajarat Ololu-Zubair Concept Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, 99% occurring in females while 1% occurs in males. It is of higher rate in the developed countries compared with developing ones; possibly due to higher life-expectancy in the former, as it more common in the elderly women.
