| Farsalinos KE, Gillman G, Poulas K et al. (2015) – Tobacco-Specific Nitrosamines in Electronic Cigarettes: Comparison between Liquid and Aerosol Levels – Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health (2015) Results: Only NAB was found at trace levels in two commercial liquids (1.2 and 2.3 ng/g), while the third contained 1.5 ng/g NAB and 7.7 ng/g NNN. The 100-puff sets resulted in 336–515 mg liquid consumption, with no TSNAs being detected in the aerosol. Information: Approved products like Nicotine inhaler, Nicotine gum and Nicotine patch contains similar tobacco-specific nitrosamine levels. Link |

Normal levels for smokers/vapers are between 20-30 ng/ml! (HT Bernd Mayer!) |

Journal Research & PH (2015) Authors Conclusion: Our data indicate that exposure of bystanders to the chemicals in the exhaled e-cigarette aerosol, at the levels measured within our study, are below current regulatory standards that are used for workplaces or general indoor air quality. This finding supports the conclusions of other researchers that have stated there is no apparent risk to bystanders from exhaled e-cigarette aerosols. |

This means: They exposed the cells to as much aersol as needed to have toxicity. With this methodology, any chemical would be toxic. (HT Konstantinos Farsalinos!) |

Hiirillä tehty tutkimus näytti hämmästyttävän vähäistä akuuttia myrkyllisyyttä, vaikka testaustavoissa oli vakavia virheitä (uutinen)
PLOS ONE -lehdessäjulkaistu John Hopkinsin yliopiston tutkimus testasi sähkösavukkeiden höyryn vaikutusta hiiriin. Tutkimuksen mukaan sähkösavukkeen höyryllä saattaa olla yhteys hengitystieinfektioihin. Julkaistu helmikuussa 2015.
Höyryttely ja Formaldehydi -tutkimuksen kyseenalaistus (uutinen)
Uusi tutkimus näytti, että korkealla jännitteellä höyryttely synnytti suuria määriä karsinogeeniä nimeltä formaldehydi. Tohtori Konstantinos Farsalinos otti kantaa tutkimukseen. Julkaistu tammikuussa 2015.
