Millions of Americans use e-cigarettes. Despite their popularity,
little is known about their health effects. Some suggest that
e-cigarettes likely confer lower risk compared to combustible
tobacco cigarettes, because they do not expose users to toxicants
produced through combustion. Proponents of e-cigarette use also
tout the potential benefits of e-cigarettes as devices that could
help combustible tobacco cigarette smokers to quit and thereby
reduce tobacco-related health risks. Others are concerned about the
exposure to potentially toxic substances contained in e-cigarette
emissions, especially in individuals who have never used tobacco
products such as youth and young adults. Given their relatively
recent introduction, there has been little time for a scientific
body of evidence to develop on the health effects of e-cigarettes.
Public Health Consequences of E-Cigarettes reviews and critically
assesses the state of the emerging evidence about e-cigarettes and
health. This report makes recommendations for the improvement of
this research and highlights gaps that are a priority for future
research. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary Summary Annex
