Abstract/Description

• Retention of nicotine on porous, hydrophilic surfaces can be long enough to allow reaction with ambient gases to form TSNAs (tobacco specific nitrosamines).

• Potential risk for third-hand exposure over time appears to be low, but should be verified by longer term studies.

• Use of ECs (electronic cigarettes) should be consistent with traditional cigarette smoking policies.
