"Excessively High" Nicotine in JUUL Vapes Is Toxic to Cells, Warns Scientist

But this study, led by Prue Talbot, Ph.D., director of the University of California Riverside’s Stem Cell Research Center, is dedicated two of the 59 chemicals they quantified in their sample of JUUL pods: nicotine and ethyl maltol, a sweet flavoring ingredient that was present in three of the pods studied. Talbot and her co-authors found that both concentrations of nicotine and concentrations of ethyl maltol were so high that they had toxic effects on human lung cells.

“Our studies indicate that a better understanding of JUUL products is needed,” she tells Inverse. “The nicotine concentrations are excessively high and this could be addressed by regulatory agencies.”
