Nicotine Levels and Presence of Selected Tobacco-Derived Toxins in Tobacco Flavoured Electronic Cigarette Refill Liquids

Published: 24 March 2015

Abstract

Background: Some electronic cigarette (EC) liquids of tobacco flavour contain extracts of cured tobacco leaves produced by a process of solvent extraction and steeping. These are commonly called Natural Extract of Tobacco (NET) liquids. The purpose of the study was to evaluate nicotine levels and the presence of tobacco-derived toxins in tobacco-flavoured conventional and NET liquids. Methods. Twenty-one samples (10 conventional and 11 NET liquids) were obtained from the US and Greek market. Nicotine levels were measured and compared with labelled values. The levels of tobacco-derived chemicals were compared with literature data on tobacco products. 

Results: Twelve samples had nicotine levels within 10% of the labelled value. Inconsistency ranged from −21% to 22.1%, with no difference observed between conventional and NET liquids. Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) were present in all samples at ng/mL levels. Nitrates were present almost exclusively in NET liquids. Acetaldehyde was present predominantly in conventional liquids while formaldehyde was detected in almost all EC liquids at trace levels. Phenols were present in trace amounts, mostly in NET liquids. Total TSNAs and nitrate, which are derived from the tobacco plant, were present at levels 200–300 times lower in 1 mL of NET liquids compared to 1 gram of tobacco products.

Conclusions: NET liquids contained higher levels of phenols and nitrates, but lower levels of acetaldehyde compared to conventional EC liquids. The lower levels of tobacco-derived toxins found in NET liquids compared to tobacco products indicate that the extraction process used to make these products did not transfer a significant amount of toxins to the NET.

**** Overall, all EC liquids contained far lower (by 2–3 orders of magnitude) levels of the tobacco-derived toxins compared to tobacco products.

STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN AGAINST E-CIGARETTES

By Eileen Frere

Costa Mesa, California. (KABC)

Electronic cigarettes are considered by many to be a healthier alternative to smoking, but the California Department of Health has declared them a public health risk.

The department is so concerned that it's releasing two television ads calling the devices toxic and highlighting that big tobacco companies are involved in the e-cig business.

One ad suggests the candy flavored e-juices are being marketed to attract children.

"We've seen an increase in the youth using these things. Thirty-three percent of our 11th graders reported that they had tried them at some point in the past. They're getting them online. They're getting them in stores. They're getting them at kiosks in the mall," said Dr. Helene Calvet, deputy health officer at the Orange County Health Care Agency.

The employees at Local Vape, a vapor shop in Costa Mesa, check the IDs of anyone who purchases an e-cig to ensure they sell only to adults.

Camille Winans, a mother of three and one of the employees at the shop, said it's up to parents to know what their children are doing.

"The parents just need to be responsible. You can't leave your bottles out. You can't do that kind of thing," she said.

Winans also credits e-cigs for helping her quit smoking tobacco more than a year ago. She said she feels healthier vaping.

Health officials said e-cigs contain fewer carcinogens than tobacco, but more research still needs to be done.

"They're much lower levels than in regular cigarettes, but who knows what a safe level of a carcinogen is?" Calvet said.

Officials also said the anti-e-cigarette campaign will include ads on billboards, at gas stations and even in movie theaters. It is expected to run through June.
