*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.

“​​Funded by Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program, the LRNUG has developed several resources to help guide people who use, or are thinking about using nicotine, on how to lower the risk associated with these products.  ...E-cigarettes with nicotine may be an effective cessation aid for people who use combustible tobacco.  People who switch from combustible tobacco to e-cigarettes will reduce their exposure to numerous toxicants and carcinogens.” 
[https://www.nicotinedependenceclinic.com/en/Documents/Quick%20Tips.pdf Quick Tips]:  “Using tobacco in forms that don’t burn, like smokeless tobacco or heat-not-burn products, will reduce your exposure to harmful combusted chemicals including carbon monoxide.  [You can] further reduce your risk by switching to products that don’t have tobacco like NRT [e.g., nicotine patches or nicotine gum] or e-cigarettes.”

Despite a lack of long-term scientific studies, it probably presents a '''reduced risk''' compared to tobacco (if not combined with cigarettes). …In general, we recommend that you vape with '''the most concentrated liquid possible, in order to reduce your consumption of liquid and therefore your exposure to inhaled substances'''.” [emphasis in original] [Google Translate]

[[File:FDA facts about e-cigs email.pdf|alt=The FDA regulates the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes (sometimes called “vapes”). The FDA has the legal authority to regulate tobacco products containing nicotine from any source, including synthetic nicotine. Here are some facts to help dispel common myths about ecigarette use, which is commonly referred to as “vaping.” Fact: In general, different types of tobacco products pose  different levels of risk to people’s health. More Information: Tobacco products that are smoked – such as cigarettes – generally pose the greatest risk to your health. Cigarette smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, about 70 of which are linked to cancer. Tobacco products that are not smoked generally contain lower levels of harmful chemicals linked to cancer. Bottom Line: While e-cigarette aerosol generally contains lower levels of harmful chemicals than cigarette smoke, no tobacco products are safe. Fact: E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can disrupt adolescent brain development. More Information: The younger a person is when they start using tobacco products, the more likely they are to become addicted. Because their brains are still developing, young people have a higher risk of becoming addicted to the nicotine in tobacco products than adults. Bottom Line: Youth should not use any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes. Fact: The FDA does not “approve” tobacco products for sale in the U.S. More Information: To legally sell or distribute a new tobacco product in the U.S., manufacturers must receive authorization from the FDA. A marketing authorization does not indicate that the tobacco product is either safe or “approved.” It means that the manufacturer has complied  with the requirements under the law to bring its product to market. Bottom Line: There is no such thing as a safe tobacco product, so the FDA’s safe and effective standard for evaluating medical products does not apply to tobacco products. Fact: In general, transitioning completely from using cigarettes to an e-cigarette would reduce the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals. More Information: Switching completely to e-cigarettes can reduce health risks among adults who smoke. But continued use of both products (“dual use”) does not meaningfully reduce one’s risk. Bottom Line: For an adult who smokes to benefit from ecigarette use, they have to transition completely from cigarettes to e-cigarettes. |thumb|FDA facts about e-cigs email sent 19 sept 2023 particularly page 3 ]]
