Note that this review is very cautious in estimating the toxicant exposure reductions when switching from cigarettes to e-cigs. e.g. E-cigs emit no CO. Never smokers often have an exhaled CO=2ppm. Smokers often have a CO level of 16ppm. So a reduction to 2ppm should be 100%. But here it is estimated as only 87.5% reduction, not accounting for background/endogenous levels. Despite this cautious approach, the study demonstrates large reductions in a wide range of toxicants when switching from cigarettes to e-cigs.
A new systematic review and meta-analysis published in Archives of Toxicology, covering 60 studies, found substantial reductions in exposure to #harmful #chemicals among #smokers who switched completely to e-cigarettes.

Study finds substantial reductions in measured toxicant exposure following complete switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes. Importantly, the reported reductions of 61–92% may be conservative.

Complete switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes, or exclusive e-cigarette use after cigarette smoking, was associated with large reductions in selected biomarkers of exposure to tobacco- and combustion-related toxicants

What changes when people replace cigarettes completely with vaping?
A new systematic review of 60 studies found lower exposure to tobacco- and combustion-related toxicants, with reductions of approximately 61–92% across ten measured biomarkers.

More proof of HARM REDUCTION.
This is important for those who smoke now but are unable or unwilling to stop, as well as others who mistakenly think that vaping nicotine is equally or even more dangerous than smoking.

Smoking vs vaping: the exposure difference is measurable.
A 2026 review of 60 human studies found 61–92% lower levels across 10 toxicant biomarkers after complete switching.
Not risk-free.
But combustion matters.

Switching completely from cigarettes to e-cigarettes: all ten pooled toxicant exposure biomarkers were lower, including the nitrosamine NNN by 92% and NNAL by 61%. Reductions among dual users were smaller.

It's important to notice that because of background exposure, these biomarkers are not zero among non-users either.

Drawing on 60 human studies, the research reports 61–92% reductions across 10 toxicant biomarkers following complete switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes.

This is exactly the kind of evidence that matters when discussing tobacco harm reduction.
A new systematic review in Archives of Toxicology examined 60 human biomarker studies and found that people who completely switched from cigarettes to e-cigarettes showed large and consistent reductions in exposure to many of the toxicants most strongly associated with smoking. The pooled reductions included about 90% for benzene, 82% for 1,3-butadiene, 84% for acrylonitrile, 79% for exhaled carbon monoxide and 92% for NNN, a tobacco-specific nitrosamine. Nicotine delivery, meanwhile, was broadly maintained.
That combination is important. It means smokers were able to maintain nicotine while dramatically reducing exposure to many of the harmful products created by burning tobacco.

Genomic sequencing shows that the Ebola virus from Nigeria’s recently reported only imported case is highly similar to that from Kenya’s @MOH_Kenya reported first imported case, differing by only one mutation.
My thanks to the sequencing teams at @NCDCgov and the Institute of Genomics and Global Health @RedeemersUni , Ede, and to @christian_happi for this excellent work.
We are forging ahead with public health control measures while awaiting results of further investigations and testing.
Our approach is that of solidarity and global cooperation, appreciating the role our sister African nations, @AfricaCDC, Technical partners and experts @WHO, @DrTedros, @Dr_JeanKaseya, Prof. Aliko Ahmed @alikothe3rd, @Fmohnigeria as well key International partners especially The Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy (GHSD) @StateDept.
We are determined to do our best to protect the lives and livelihoods of our people and we urge all Nigerians and our partners to work together with us. By the grace of we shall succeed and rise above this public health emergency as we did in 2014.
