E-cigarette nicotine content and labelling practices in a restricted market: Findings from Ontario, Canada

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are devices that deliver nicotine via an aerosol. The aerosol is produced by heating an enclosed solution which typically contains nicotine and flavouring chemicals dissolved in propylene glycol and/or glycerin (Breland et al., 2017). Although e-cigarettes are likely to pose fewer health risks than combustible tobacco cigarettes – given that they do not contain tobacco and do not combust to produce tobacco smoke (NASEM, 2018) – their overall potential impact on public health remains unclear (Breland et al., 2017).
