===2019 [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887233318307768?via%3Dihub High Content Screening in NHBE cells shows significantly reduced biological activity of flavoured e-liquids, when compared to cigarette smoke condensate]===
*Our results clearly show a lower toxicity of e-liquids, including flavoured e-liquids, when compared to CSC (cigarette smoke condensate). Typically, more than 100 times higher concentrations of CFs (Base liquids, with or without nicotine, and commercial, flavoured, nicotine-containing e-liquids) are required to elicit the same response as those observed for 3R4F CSC in specific endpoints.
*Flavours play a critical role in attracting, and retaining smokers to e-cigarettes.

*The vast majority of flavouring (flavoring) compounds in e-cigarette liquids as reported in a recent study were present at levels far lower than needed to classify them as toxic.
