Systemic biomarkers of exposure associated with ENDS use: a scoping review

Marzena Hiler et al.

Summary: This scoping review provides an overview of the existing literature on biomarkers of exposure from electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use and identifies gaps in existing knowledge. The evidence shows that exclusive ENDS users have elevated levels of certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metals, and propylene glycol compared with non-users, but the evidence for other toxicants is mixed. Biomarkers of most VOCs are lower in ENDS users compared with cigarette smokers, and cigarette smokers who switch to ENDS consistently show reductions in VOC biomarkers. The evidence on metal exposures from exclusive ENDS use, cigarette smoking, and dual use is mixed and depends on the specific metal. The characteristics of ENDS and e-liquids as well as use patterns may influence exposure to VOCs and metals. Additional controlled studies are needed to assess biomarker exposures from ENDS use and inform the overall risk-benefit of ENDS use for different user populations.

Biomarkers of potential harm in people switching from smoking tobacco to exclusive e-cigarette use, dual use or abstinence: secondary analysis of Cochrane systematic review of trials of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce et al.

Summary: This study compares biomarkers of potential harm among different groups of individuals based on their behavior in electronic cigarette intervention studies. The findings suggest that switching from smoking to vaping or dual use can significantly reduce levels of biomarkers of potential harm.

Changes in Biomarkers of Tobacco Exposure among Cigarette Smokers Transitioning to ENDS Use: The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, 2013-2015

Gabriella M. Anic et al.

Summary: Limited data are available on how biomarkers of tobacco exposure change when smokers switch to using electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). This study found that transitioning to exclusive ENDS use or quitting tobacco led to significant reductions in most biomarker concentrations, while dual users experienced smaller changes.

Exposure to Toxicants Associated With Use and Transitions Between Cigarettes, e-Cigarettes, and No Tobacco

Hongying Dai et al.

Summary: This study examines changes in urinary biomarkers among adult tobacco users who switch between e-cigarettes and cigarettes. The results indicate that there is a reduction in harmful constituents when transitioning from exclusive cigarette use to exclusive e-cigarette use, while harmful constituents increase when transitioning from exclusive e-cigarette use to exclusive cigarette use or dual use.

Summary: This study differentiated subgroups of people who smoke and vape based on biomarkers of exposure and biomarkers of potential harm. The findings suggest that the levels of these biomarkers are associated with the frequency of cigarette smoking.

Effect of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems on Cigarette Abstinence in Smokers With No Plans to Quit: Exploratory Analysis of a Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial

Jonathan Foulds et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of using electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) on cigarette abstinence in smokers with no plans to quit. The results showed that if smokers continued to use ENDS with nicotine delivery approaching that of a cigarette, a greater proportion completely quit smoking compared to placebo or a cigarette substitute.

Summary: This article provides a summary of urinary nicotine metabolite measurements among adult tobacco users and non-users from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study. The study found that nicotine exposure levels varied based on age, gender, race/ethnicity, and educational attainment.

Summary: This study showed that exclusive use of e-cigarettes reduced carbon monoxide and nicotine exposure compared to exclusive cigarette use. However, among dual users, using e-cigarettes along with cigarettes did not reduce cigarette consumption or toxicant exposure.

Summary: Particulate air pollution, especially ultrafine and fine-size particles, can have serious health impacts, including neurological and behavioral effects, and premature death. Studies have shown that exposure to PM and PM-associated metals may negatively affect neurological health, highlighting the need for further research to inform future policy decisions and interventions.

Effect of an electronic nicotine delivery system with 0, 8, or 36 mg/mL liquid nicotine versus a cigarette substitute on tobacco-related toxicant exposure: a four-arm, parallel-group, randomised, controlled trial

Caroline O. Cobb et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDSs) and non-nicotine cigarette substitutes on smokers, finding that ENDSs can reduce exposure to the major pulmonary carcinogen NNAL. Future ENDS trials should consider products with well-characterized nicotine delivery capabilities.

Differences in Switching Away From Smoking Among Adult Smokers Using JUUL Products in Regions With Different Maximum Nicotine Concentrations: North America and the United Kingdom

Nicholas Goldenson et al.

Summary: The study compared smoking cessation rates among JUUL users in the UK and North America, with significantly higher cessation rates in North America at 3 and 6 months. The availability of ENDS with nicotine concentrations greater than 20 mg/mL may be associated with increased smoking cessation among adult smokers.
