FROM DOCTOR FARSALINOS – How much do flavors contribute to aldehyde emissions from e-cigarettes?
The original article can be found on Doctor Farsalinos’ website: E-Cigarette Research
By Dr Farsalinos
In the past few days I have received a large number of emails and messages from concerned vapers about a study reporting huge levels of aldehydes in e-cigarette aerosol when using flavored e-liquid. The study has been published in the journal Environmental Research and Technology. The authors compared flavored with unflavored liquids. The highest level of aldehyde emissions were observed with the flavors watermelon blueberry and coffee. Remarkably, no aldehyde emissions were found when using an unflavored liquid.
Due to the latter, we can safely exclude dry puffs as a reason for the very high aldehyde emissions. If that was the case, they would have found very high levels of aldehyde in unflavored liquids too. I have reported this in a study 1 year ago using unflavored liquid.
The problem with this study is that the results contradict previous research on aldehyde emissions. A large number of studies have shown that aldehydes are formed due to thermal degradation of the main ingredients of e-liquids, namely propylene glycol and glycerol. Even more importantly, John Lauterbach reported in a 2015 conference that radiolabeled aldehydes were found in the aerosol of e-liquids containing radiolabeled PG and VG (abstract 188). This is definite proof that, at least part of, aldehydes are formed due to thermal degradation of the humectants of e-liquids. I cannot explain why the authors found no aldehydes (i.e. below LOQ) in the unflavored liquid. With the flavored liquids, the levels found were extremely high. For example, the watermelon liquid released so much formaldehyde that consuming 1 mL of that liquid would result in 4-fold higher exposure compared to smoking 20 tobacco cigarettes.
I should note that it is impossible to convincingly identify something that went wrong in this study, besides the fact that the results are not consistent with previous research. I never attempt to provide “justifications” which do not exist, and I never have “preferences” in what gets published. My only goal is to have accurate scientific information and advance the knowledge and understanding, whether the information is in favor or against e-cigarettes.
One of the fascinating aspects of science is the ability to replicate, and thus confirm or reject, the findings of a study. Thus, I can announce that we have already prepared a protocol with the main purpose to identify if and at what level do flavors contribute to aldehyde emissions compared to unflavored liquid. We also plan to use some of the liquids used in the recent study (same brand), if the author replies to my email requesting information on the brand used (there is no such information in the manuscript, and I still have not received any response to the email I have sent). We will be able to release our preliminary results very soon and we hope we are going to clarify the situation. If there is a problem, we need to verify it and inform the scientific community and the society, especially vapers and smokers. So, be patient…
THIS WEEKEND IN CANADA… EH? :-)
Hope to see you there!

REGULATOR WATCH – Vaping Clampdown? | Royal College of Physicians, John Britton Talks COP7
New from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch!
Is the World Health Organization poised to kill millions of people? Just as vapers in several countries began to feel like events may finally be turning in favor of e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool, the harsh realities of the global public health movement shattered any optimism.
The World Health Organization is just wrapping its Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, known as COP7, in India and according to professor John Britton, Chair of the Tobacco Advisory Group at the Royal College of Physicians in Britain (RCP), the future for vaping looks bleak.
The RCP, Public Health England and the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies have all endorsed e-cigarettes as a vital tool in the battle to end the tobacco epidemic.
Tune in to this special edition of RegWatch and learn why officials from England’s top public health organizations fear that pending WHO regulatory action on e-cigarettes could kill millions of people—only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

FROM CASAA – Know where your candidates stand on vaping
This election year, several candidates have made a point to express their support for reasonable regulation and policies that will benefit vapor consumers. Unfortunately, like the vaping community, these leaders are in the minority. Going forward, a crucial part of changing the political landscape relies on how we vote and who we vote for.
With only a few days left before the election, please take a moment and visit www.thrvoter.org to see who your candidates are and if they have expressed a position on tobacco harm reduction. And, as always, make sure you are registered to vote and that your information is up to date.
Thank you,

Which major party candidate is more likely to end President Obama’s anti-vaping policies, Hillary Clinton or Donald J. Trump?
Gregory Conley, the president of the American Vaping Association says if you are a single-issue voter “the orange-guy might be your best bet” to save the vaping industry.
In this episode of RegWatch, we meet-up with Conley at the Smoke-Free Alternatives Trade Association annual conference in Hollywood, Florida—SFATA is the leading trade organization representing the U.S. vaping industry.
