Sugars are major constituents and additives in traditional tobacco products, but little is known about their content or related toxins (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein) electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) liquids. This study quantified levels of sugars aldehydes e-cigarette liquids across brands, flavors, nicotine concentrations (n = 66).Unheated were analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry enzymatic test kits. Generalized linear models, Fisher's exact test, Pearson's...
Menthol cigarette smoking may increase the risk for tobacco smoke exposure and inhibit nicotine metabolism in liver. Nicotine is primarily mediated by enzyme CYP2A6 metabolite ratio (NMR = trans 3′ hydroxycotinine/cotinine) a phenotypic proxy activity. No studies have examined differences this biomarker among young adult daily menthol nonmenthol smokers. This study compares biomarkers of Saliva cotinine carbon monoxide were measured multiethnic sample smokers aged 18–35 ( n 186). Nicotine,...
