Pharmacokinetics of Nicotine Absorption from Vaping Devices

Abstract

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), also sometimes known as "e-cigarettes," or electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, are battery-operated electronic gadgets that aerosolize a solution, sometimes known as an e-liquid, that is either nicotine-containing or free from nicotine. It is believed that smokers are more likely to embrace electronic cigarettes as satisfying substitutes for traditional cigarettes if the pharmacokinetic profile is similar to that of cigarettes. The present investigation's objective was to get more information about how experienced users of their own device distribute nicotine from e-cigarettes. This study specifically sought to evaluate the nicotine delivery of various first-generation and advanced e-cigarette devices with that of classic cigarettes. This research also aimed to assess the subjective impact of using various kinds of electronic cigarettes and cigarettes.
