===2018: Chemical Composition of myblu™ Pod-System E-Cigarette Aerosols: A Quantitative Comparison with Conventional Cigarette Smoke===
===2018 [http://www.fontemscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2018-04-18-aerosol-chemistry-thr-summit-2018-poster_final.pdf Chemical Composition of myblu™ Pod-System E-Cigarette Aerosols: A Quantitative Comparison with Conventional Cigarette Smoke]===
*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.
