Implications of 2024 NYTS: Ban nicotine salts and clamp down on Zyn
Last week the FDA and CDC released their analysis of the 2024 National Youth Tobacco Survey.

Damage to offspring caused by moms’ e-cig exposure during pregnancy persists long after birth and makes offspring more sensitive to e-cig insults
Amber Mills and colleagues new paper Maternal use of electronic cigarettes and impact on offspring: a double-hit model is a follow-up study to their earlier work showing that mother (rat) exposure to e-cigarette aerosol during pregnancy harmed offspring. The new study shows that the adverse effects of in utero (i.e., to the developing fetuses inContinue reading “Damage to offspring caused by moms’ e-cig exposure during pregnancy persists long after birth and makes offspring more sensitive to e-cig insults”

InContinue reading “e-cig PG/VG and nicotine promote tumor growth and metastasis”

E-cigarette advocates — as well as regulators like the FDA — are fond of pointing out that nicotine is not a carcinogen (chemical that causes cancer) and noting that because they do not involve combustion, e-cigarettes do not deliver many carcinogenic chemicals produced by burning cigarettes. A new paper by Stella Tommasi , Ahmad BesaratiniaContinue reading “Genetic evidence that e-cigarettes increase cancer (and other disease) risk among young adults”
