*E-cigarettes may be beneficial for individuals who smoke and use them to quit smoking completely. | |||
*E-cigarette aerosols contain considerably lower amounts of harmful and toxic chemicals compared to conventional cigarette aerosols. An extensive study from 2021 tested carbonyl compounds (including aldehydes such as acetaldehyde and formaldehyde, Section 12.4.3.2) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, Section 12.4.3.6) levels in e-cigarette compared to conventional cigarette and heated tobacco products aerosols. Among the 19 carbonyl compounds tested, 17 were lowest in e-cigarette aerosols. Among the 22 PAHs that were detected, 21 were lowest in e-cigarette aerosols compared to conventional cigarette and heated tobacco products. When comparing average levels of all the compounds in each class, e-cigarettes had a 99% reduction per puff of carbonyl compounds compared to conventional cigarettes, and a 98% reduction per puff of PAHs, many of which are known causes of cancer. | |||
