US Study: Vape Use Reduces Carcinogen Exposure

Hello Bigboss!! How are you today? Hope you are always healthy, blessed with good fortune, and all your activities are made easy!!

In line with countless other studies, this research found that indeed, when used as a substitute for regular cigarettes, vaping reduces exposure to key carcinogens (NNAL). “We found that e-cigarettes that delivered comparable amounts of nicotine to traditional combustible cigarettes helped reduce smoking and exposure to harmful carcinogens,” said Jonathan Foulds, a researcher at Penn State Cancer Institute and professor of public health sciences and psychiatry and behavioral health.

“This study suggests that when smokers interested in reduction are given e-cigarettes with cigarette-like nicotine delivery, they are more likely to achieve significant reductions in tobacco-related toxins, such as lower levels of exhaled carbon monoxide.”

The study consisted of a randomized controlled trial of 520 participants who smoked more than nine cigarettes a day, currently did not use vaping products, and were interested in reducing smoking but not quitting. Participants were given e-cigarettes filled with 0, 8 or 36 milligrams per milliliter of liquid nicotine, or plastic tubes (shaped like cigarettes) containing no nicotine or aerosol, and were provided with smoking reduction guidelines.

Researchers tested participants’ urine for NNAL (4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol) at weeks 0, 4, 12, and 24. They found that participants who used e-cigarettes filled with cigarette-like levels of liquid nicotine had significantly lower levels of the carcinogen at week 24 compared to baseline and compared to levels observed in the non-smoking control condition.

Vapes with poor nicotine delivery profiles may be less effective

Lead author of the study Caroline Cobb, a professor of psychology at VCU, said the research is important for two reasons. “First, many e-cigarettes have poor nicotine delivery profiles, and our results indicate that such products may be less effective in helping smokers change their behavior and related toxic exposures.”

“Second, previous randomized controlled trials examining whether e-cigarettes help smokers change their smoking behavior and toxic exposures have used e-cigarettes with low or unknown nicotine delivery profiles,” Cobb added. “Our study highlights the importance of characterizing the nicotine delivery profiles of e-cigarettes before conducting randomized controlled trials. This work also has other important strengths compared to prior research including sample size, length of intervention, multiple measures of toxic exposure and control conditions.”
