Electronic cigarettes and vaping: toxicological awareness is increasing

Toxicity assessment of flavour chemicals used in e-cigarettes: current state and future challenges

“…Yet, to do so, additional information of realistic exposure scenarios for the different e-cigarette devices is also required. As mentioned in a previous editorial, a multidisciplinary approach will be necessary to tackle these challenges that are associated with the assessment and management of risks of e-cigarettes products (Bolt 2020).…”

Systems toxicology study reveals reduced impact of heated tobacco product aerosol extract relative to cigarette smoke on premature aging and exacerbation effects in aged aortic cells in vitro

“…To help achieve this goal, several diverse smoke-free products have been developed, such as heated tobacco products and e-vaping products. However, it is necessary to carefully assess these products through a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate their potential for reducing toxicant exposure and health risks in comparison with conventional tobacco products (Bolt 2020). Combustion of tobacco releases thousands of toxic chemicals, including acrolein, benzene, and cadmium (Perfetti and Rodgman 2011;Haussmann 2012;Rodgman and Perfetti 2016).…”
