Cigarette e-liquids containing nicotine salts increase vaping-related abuse
13 août 2024
This study addressed growing concerns about the abuse potential of modern electronic cigarettes, particularly those using nicotine salts. These salts are formed by the addition of acidic additives, making nicotine inhalation milder than nicotine in free base form.
The main objective of the study was to determine how variations in nicotine form (salts vs. free base), nicotine concentration (5% vs. 1%), and e-liquid flavours (menthol vs. tobacco) influence subjective perceptions, vaping behaviours, and nicotine absorption levels in young adults.
