Your Title Goes Here Optional Subhead

Ayodeji Awopegba, DMD; Ryan Kennedy, PhD; Joanna Cohen, PhD

•  E-liquid commonly contains nicotine, an addictive agent delivered to the user via the inhaled aerosol

•  The concentration of nicotine in e-cigarette cartridges typically ranges from 6-24mg/mL, however it can be much higher. Moreover, e-cigarette packaging has been shown to misrepresent nicotine content

•  The current study sought to assess strategies that countries across the globe are taking to regulate nicotine in e-cigarettes and e-liquids

Background

•  National policies regulating e-cigarettes were identified primarily through direct contact with representatives of Ministries of Health or tobacco control experts in approximately 130 countries

•  Media monitoring was also used to identify emerging or new e-cigarette product regulation or legislation

•  Copies of written policies were reviewed and policies related to levels and concentration of nicotine were summarized

•  Data were verified by in-country experts

Methods

Results

•  The policy search identified 83 countries that had a policy that is being applied to regulate e-cigarettes as of October 2017

•  Twenty-eight countries regulate the amount of nicotine in e-liquids and single use e-cigarettes including the concentration and volume of nicotine

•  All of these countries were in the European Union (EU), applying the EU Tobacco Products Directive

Conclusions

•  There are currently no countries outside of the EU regulating e-cigarette nicotine concentration at the national level

•  Understanding approaches to product regulation including limiting nicotine is a necessary first step to assessing the impact of policies on public health
