Determination of nicotine content in e-cigarettes and e-liquid refills utilizing hPLC methods.

Year Published: 2019

Summary

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are gaining popularity within the youth population, many of whom
view vaping as a safer alternative to combustible tobacco. E-cig devices deliver an aerosol
produced by heating a liquid mixture of nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals. The FDA does
not currently mandate e-cig labels to disclose the ingredients of the e-liquids used in the
devices. The lack of product labeling raises questions about the safety and nicotine content of
e-cigs and e-liquids.
