Harm Reduction• Cigarette smoking is very
dangerous.• E-cigarettes deliver
nicotine without the tar, carcinogens, etc.
Public Health Debate
Potential Harms• E-cigarettes have
nicotine.• Young people are
attracted to the novelty and flavors.
• Long term harmful consequences are not known.

Number of parts in a basic e-cig▪ Battery▪ Atomizer▪ Cartridge
Components of E-Cigarettes (Ecigs)
The Rise of E-cigarettes
The closed system: ▪ The cig-alike: similar in size and shape to a traditional
cigarette. Disposable, and cannot be used again ($).
The open system:▪ Reusable with disposable parts: Contain a
rechargeable battery where the cartomizer is disposable - no need for e-liquids or refilling etc ($$).
▪ The “APV” (advanced personal vaporizer) or “mod” (modification): These e-cigs have a rechargeable battery and refillable cartomizers ($$$).
Cig-A-Likes
▪ First generation of electronic cigarettes▪ Mimic the look and feel of standard
tobacco cigarettes

What’s wrong with this picture?(https://www.juulvapor.com/shop-pods; accessed at 2/14/2018; 12:51 pm)
No product information on the cartridge.
No product information about mg/ml.
What does .7ml with 5% nicotine mean?
“Below is a general guide that can help you work out the correct nicotine strength required. Due to Tobacco Products Directive (known as TPD for short) that came into effect on 20th of May 2017, the maximum strength of nicotine in an e-liquid sold in the UK is now limited to 20mg/ml (or 2.0%).”

E-liquid nicotine strength: Suitable for people smoking:
3mg/ml or 0.3% (Very low) Up to 5 cigarettes a day6mg/ml or 0.6% (Low) Up to 10 cigarettes a day12mg/ml or 1.2% (Medium) Up to 20 cigarettes a day18mg/ml or 1.8% (High) Up to 30 cigarettes a day20mg/ml or 2.0% (Very high) Up to 40 cigarettes a day
Equivalents across differing brands and nicotine concentrations
Assumes 40 cigarettes for 20 mg/dl

Each JUULpod should deliver around 200 puffs before it needs changingEach JUULpod contains 0.7ml of pre-filled e-liquid5% nicotine by weight (50mg nicotine)

E-Juice/E-LiquidYou Would Be Amazed…
@TexasTCORS
• E-Liquid strength is measured in milligrams (weight) per milliliter (volume); expressed as mg/mL
• E-Liquid, or E-Juice, comes in many strengths depending largely on the manufacturer, sometimes even as high as 42 or 56 mg/mL
• A vaping industry standard is 20 ml/dl (2% weight) is considered very strong, and is equivalent to 40 cigarettes
@TexasTCORS
Nicotine is WAY more harmful than caffeine.

E-Cigarettes/Vape Pens: Just Water Vapor?

•Youth and young adults are uniquely vulnerable to the detrimental consequences from nicotine exposure, including:
• Reduced impulse control
• Mood dysfunction
• Deficits in:
• Attention
• Cognition
@TexasTCORS
Nicotine is MORE harmful to adolescents and young adults.
Nicotine exposure during adolescence can cause addiction and can harm the developing brain.

What is Propylene Glycol (PG) and why is it used
▪ Propylene glycol is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature.
▪ To exist in aerosol form, must be heated.▪ Propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe by
FDA for ingestion, but little is known about the effects of inhaling it as a aerosol.
▪ In E-cigs, PG is added in the liquid to dilute the pure liquified form of nicotine and to serve as a vaporizable base.
▪ PG also allows atomization to take place at much lower temperatures than tobacco cigarettes.

• The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (2009)▪ On April 25, 2014, FDA issued a proposed rule that would extend
its regulatory capacity to additional tobacco products. • At least 40 states have laws in place restricting e-cigarettes
sales to minors (Gov. Abbott signed SB 97 in May 2015)• Cities and counties are rapidly setting restrictions on the use
of e-cigarettes ▪ Implement laws to restrict use in venues including workplaces,
restaurants and bars
Federal, state and local policies related to e-cigarettes
@TexasTCORS
E-Cigarette Constituents▪ The Tobacco Control Act provides FDA authority to regulate
cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, smokeless tobacco, and any other tobacco products that the Agency by regulation deems to be subject to the law.
▪ The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to deem products meeting the statutory definition of "tobacco product," except accessories of a proposed deemed tobacco product, to be subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act).
