Study finds reduced toxicity of ENDS compared to cigarettes.
Researchers validated reliability of results. Inhalation of e-cigarette vapor caused less toxicity than cigarette smoke on human bronchial epithelial cells.

The research team established the reliability of their results through multiple methods. After exposing human bronchial epithelial cells (NCI-H292) to tobacco smoke and e-cigarette vapor, the researchers assessed the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, as well as the remodeling mediator matrix metalloproteinase-1.


Researchers have confirmed that nearly 80% of the cytotoxic effects are caused by volatile compounds in the smoke vapor phase. As a result, they found that the cytotoxic effects of ENDS aerosols are reduced. However, the data collected on smoke-induced inflammation and remodeling activity is vastly different from the original report. Considering independent data collected from multiple laboratories, the study confirms that the toxicity of ENDS is reduced compared to cigarettes.

South Korea’s KT&G, which relies on imported tobacco leaves for about 84% of its production, is under growing pressure as global leaf tobacco prices soar. In the first half of 2024, KT&G’s purchase price for imported tobacco leaves rose 8.4% year-on-year to KRW 11,000 per kg, surpassing domestic leaf prices for the first time in 16 years. Price hikes in Brazil and India are cited as the main drivers. KT&G plans to expand global production bases and cut processing costs to manage rising expenses.
