Studies of factors that impact electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDSs) carbonyl compound (CC) emissions have been hampered by wide within-condition variability. In this study, we examined whether this variability may be related to heating coil temperature variations stemming from manufacturing differences. We determined the mean peak temperature rise (Δ) and CC emissions from 75 Subox ENDSs powered at 30 W. We found that Δ and CC emissions varied widely, with greater Δ resulting in exponentially higher CC emissions. Also, 12% of atomizers accounted for 85% of total formaldehyde emissions. These findings suggest that major reductions in toxicant exposure might be achieved through regulations focusing on limiting coil temperature.

Conusvenoms are composed of peptides that are commonly post-translationally modified, increasing their chemical diversity beyond what is encoded in the genome and enhancing their potency and selectivity. This study describes how PTMs alter an α-conotoxin's selectivity for specific nAChR subtypes. Venom from the cone snailConus(Asprella)neocostatuswas fractionated using high-performance liquid chromatography and tested using a behavioral intracranial mouse bioassay and a cholinergic calcium imaging assay using SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.

Introduction: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) can benefit those who use combustible tobacco if they transition completely to ENDS. ENDS can also result in nicotine addiction among nicotine naïve people.

Methods: ENDS-related tobacco use transitions were assessed among US youth and adults using weighted Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study wave four (2016-2017) and five (2018-2019) adult and youth data.

Background: Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are handheld electronic vaping devices that produce an aerosol by heating an e-liquid. People who smoke, healthcare providers, and regulators want to know if ECs can help people quit smoking, and if they are safe to use for this purpose. This is a review update conducted as part of a living systematic review.
