Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzes particle emissions from five heated tobacco products (HTPs) using precise measurement tools to assess black carbon and particulate matter across different flavors and smoking techniques.
- - Results indicate that the majority of particles emitted from HTPs are notably small (under 1 μm), with emissions increasing based on heating temperature and smoking intensity, which varies by flavor.
- - Although marketed as safer alternatives to regular cigarettes, HTP emissions reveal significant particle concentrations that differ by brand and smoking method, with minimal variation in black carbon emissions.
Introduction: We evaluated the tobacco odor intensity of cigarettes based on a large consumer panel and explored the differences of odor intensity perception based on sex, age and smoking habits.
Methods: The perceived intensity of tobacco odor of cigarettes was evaluated using a consumer group method. A consumer panel of 240 volunteers (80 smokers, 80 ex-smokers and 80 non-smokers) was asked to smell eleven unlit cigarettes and then report their tobacco odor intensity in a specific questionnaire.
E-cigarettes are electronic devices containing a liquid that usually consists of a mixture of glycerol, propylene glycol and nicotine, with or without flavorings, in various concentrations. A vapor or aerosol is produced, and inhaled from the user, when this liquid is heated by a heating coil. This work examines the impact of three parameters (e-liquid composition, nicotine content and air flow) on the transfer of metals' from the heating coils to the e-liquids.
