Assessing Toxicity and Health Risks of E-cigarettes: How to Take Aim at a Moving Target

Tobacco research has long centered around identifying health risks associated with cigarettes. Decades of research, public-health initiatives and messaging have led to marked drops in global smoking rates, creating a niche for e-cigarettes to gain a foothold. Harm-reduction marketing campaigns and a lack of health data have contributed to the prevailing public perception that e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes. Despite a growing body of literature suggesting that vaping is far from benign, the rapid evolution of these products has resulted in a lag in the characterization of potential e-cigarette risks. Currently, most vaping research evaluates the health risks from e-cigarettes relative to those from cigarettes. Work by Dr. Karey and colleagues, however, recently identified evidence of unique vaping health effects, suggesting that these products—and how they’re used—may lead to risks not seen with cigarettes. From vaping to obesity to viral pandemics, a growing number of scientists are being forced to pivot their research methodologies, outcomes, and assumptions to keep pace with new and emerging health crises and medical concerns. In this presentation, Dr. Karey will discuss how emerging vaping data challenge the convention that extant cigarette endpoints sufficiently capture the full spectrum of vaping risks. In addition, using both human cohorts and in vivo mouse studies, Dr. Karey will provide a translational framework for how to integrate scientific principles and novel conditions to foster dynamic and meaningful research even when your target is moving. Key learning objectives: Explore how differences in tobacco-product constituents and consumption may contribute to divergent product-specific health risks Compare body of evidence for respiratory and cardiovascular consequences (including molecular and functional changes) associated with different tobacco products View “conflicting data” as an opportunity—not a threat—to contextualize your science Tailor research queries and experimental approaches to address evolving scientific priorities To learn more, go to: https://insidescientific.com/webinar/...
