Tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA) formation occurred during aerosol generation from select commercial cig-a-like e-cigarette products. To understand the drivers behind the potential formation of TSNAs in electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) aerosols and e-liquids, model e-liquid systems were generated in the lab to demonstrate that nitrite can react with nicotine and minor alkaloids to form TSNAs in e-liquids. In the presence of nitrite and nicotine, TSNA levels in e-liquids increased over time and the process was accelerated by elevated temperature. Additionally, TSNAs formed during aerosol generation when nitrite was present in the corresponding e-liquids. The commercial e-cigarette products that showed higher levels and formation of TSNAs were observed to contain nitrite and minor alkaloid impurities in the corresponding e-liquids. This study provides valuable information about drivers for TSNA formation in e-liquids and e-cigarette aerosols that may be applied to the evaluation and quality assurance of e-cigarette products.
