The study compares the levels of harmful and potentially harmful constituents (hPhCs) in tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes. The researchers used the Ky3R4F Kentucky Reference Cigarette as a standard test piece and measured the emission levels of 142 chemicals and 8 collated measures, which cover a wide range of hPhCs in cigarette smoke and key constituents of concern in e-cigarettes. The study highlights the incomplete picture of the potential chemical composition of e-cigarettes and addresses this gap by reporting the emission levels of a wide range of hPhCs in e-cigarettes. however, the study does not provide specific results or details about the e-cigarettes tested.
