Electronic “cigarettes” (ECs) are marketed to tobacco users as potential reduced exposure products (PREPs), albeit with little information regarding EC user toxicant exposure and effects. This information may be obtained by adapting clinical laboratory methods used to evaluate other PREPs for smokers. Thirty-two smokers participated in four independent Latin-square ordered conditions that differed by product: own brand cigarette, “NPRO” EC (18 mg cartridge), “Hydro” EC (16 mg cartridge) or sham (unlit cigarette). Participants took 10 puffs at two separate times during each session. Plasma nicotine and carbon monoxide (CO) concentration, heart rate, and subjective effects were assessed. Own brand significantly increased plasma nicotine and CO concentration and heart rate within the first five minutes of administration while “NPRO” EC, “Hydro” EC, and sham smoking did not. Own brand, “NPRO” EC, and “Hydro” EC (but not sham) significantly decreased tobacco abstinence symptom ratings and increased product acceptability ratings. The magnitude of symptom suppression and increased acceptability was greater for own brand than for “NPRO” EC and “Hydro” EC. Under these acute testing conditions, neither of the ECs exposed users to measurable levels of nicotine or CO, though both suppressed nicotine/tobacco abstinence symptom ratings. This study illustrates how clinical laboratory methods can be used to understand the acute effects of these and other PREPs for tobacco users. The results and methods reported here will likely be relevant to the evaluation and empirically-based regulation of ECs and similar products.
