| *Testing of the myblu™ aerosols indicate low or no detectable levels of the toxicants tested. Over all the e-cigarettes yielded <1μg/puff of the toxicants tested compared to the reported cigarette yield of 381μg/puff. Of the 51 toxicants tested, eight were detected in the e-cigarette aerosols but at substantially lower levels than reported in cigarette smoke. | | *Of the 51 toxicants tested, eight were detected in the e-cigarette aerosols but at substantially lower levels than reported in cigarette smoke. |
| *Findings from several recent clinical studies indicate that smokers who have switched to e-cigarettes have significantly lower exposure to carcinogens and toxicants found in cigarette smoke, with reductions largely indistinguishable from complete smoking cessation or use of licensed nicotine replacement products. | | *Link above to the PDF form of the information presented at: 1st Scientific Summit, Tobacco Harm Reduction, Kallithea, Greece, June 2018 |
