Nicotine Delivery and Vaping Behavior during ad libitum E-cigarette Access

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: e-cigarette access. METHODS: access to their usual e-cigarette. Plasma nicotine was measured before and every 15 minutes after the first puff; subjective effects were measured before and after the session. RESULTS: . CONCLUSION: Vaping patterns differ from cigarette smoking. Plasma nicotine levels were consistent with intermittent dosing of nicotine from e-cigarettes compared to the more bolus dosing from cigarettes. Differences in delivery patterns and peak levels of nicotine achieved could influence the addictiveness of e-cigarettes compared to conventional cigarettes.
