Abstract

<ul> <li> </li> </ul> Retention of nicotine on porous, hydrophilic surfaces can be long enough to allow reaction with ambient gases to form TSNAs (tobacco specific nitrosamines). <li> </li> Potential risk for third-hand exposure over time appears to be low, but should be verified by longer term studies. <li> </li> Use of ECs (electronic cigarettes) should be consistent with traditional cigarette smoking policies.
