Findings reveal cellular damage from heated tobacco product exposure, suggesting the need for more regulation.
The implications of this research are that because HTP exposure elicits damage at the cellular level, and because HTPs deliver less nicotine per puff, users could increase consumption and cumulative toxic exposure. HTPs should not be considered reduced-risk; regulatory oversight, clear public-health warnings, and further research on long-term effects are warranted.
