* Highlights
** Biomarkers play an essential role in characterizing the health risks of ENDS.
** Identification of biomarkers specific to ENDS remains a challenge.
** Levels of many toxicant biomarkers in ENDS users do not differ from non-users.
** Exclusive ENDS users show lower concentrations of toxicant biomarkers compared with smokers.
** In studies on ENDS, it may be beneficial to use a panel of biomarkers
* The biomarker levels of many tobacco-related toxicants measured in biological samples collected from ENDS users did not differ significantly from non-users, except for nicotine metabolites and a small number of biomarkers of exposure to volatile organic compounds and tobacco-specific tobacco nitrosamines. Several studies have shown that while exposed to nicotine, long-term exclusive ENDS users showed significantly lower levels of toxicant biomarkers than cigarette smokers.
