Article Abstract
Electronic cigarettes are popular tobacco products that heat e-liquid into an aerosol for inhalation. Since their introduction to the market, electronic cigarettes have been considered a safer alternative to combustible tobacco products. However, most of today's users are adolescents and young adults naïve to tobacco products, who are drawn to e-cigarettes by appealing designs and targeted marketing, resulting in exposure to largely unknown short- and long-term health risks. While the cardiovascular effects of electronic cigarettes remain incompletely understood, there has been a growing concern surrounding their potential acute and chronic impact on cardiovascular health and disease risks. In this review, we examine the components of e-cigarettes and evaluate the cardiovascular effects of both acute and regular e-cigarette exposure, summarizing findings from existing preclinical and clinical studies to provide a comprehensive overview about the topic.

Oxidative stress mediates cardiac electrophysiological injury in inhalation exposure to flavored vaping products.
Heart Rhythm
September 2025
Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, United States. Electronic address:
Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) utilize "E-liquids" in order to generate "E-vapor", an inhalable aerosolized mixture containing nicotine and flavors. Flavored ENDS are very popular among teens who vape, however, the possible cardiac electrophysiological harm of inhalation exposure to flavored ENDS are not fully understood.
Objective: To test if inhalation exposure to flavoring carbonyls in e-liquids compromises mitochondrial integrity, increases oxidative stress, and leads to cardiac electrophysiological toxicity.
Analysis of the toxicity and mechanisms of osteoporosis caused by cigarette toxicants using network toxicology and molecular docking techniques.

The objective of this research was to use a network toxicology approach to examine the possible toxicity of the cigarette toxicants nicotine and coal tar that cause osteoporosis (OP) as well as its molecular processes. We determined the primary chemical structures and 128 targets of action of tar and nicotine using the Swiss Target Prediction, NP-MRD, and PubChem databases. We discovered that genes including DNAJB1, CCDC8, LINC00888, ATP6V1G1, MPV17L2, PPCS, and TACC1 had a disease prognostic guiding value by LASSO analysis and differential analysis of GEO microarray data.

School of Public Health, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Introduction: Curbing adolescent vaping is a public health priority and little evidence exists examining protective factors. Using a strength-based approach, this study explored the relationship between adolescent vaping health perceptions and vaping use.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from 9000 Australian adolescents aged 14-17 years recruited via multiple online panels as part of the Generation Vape Study were used.
