A review of e-cigarettes and their effects on DNA methylation in human studies
E-cig use is associated with distinct alterations in DNA methylation in multiple human tissues, some of which are unique compared to conventional cigarettes. Further research is needed to clarify the long-term implications and potential health risks of these epigenetic changes.
