TL;DR: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) as mentioned in this paper are integral membrane proteins and prototypic members of the ligand-gated ion-channel superfamily, which has precursors in the prokaryotic world.
Journal ArticleDOI
E-cigarettes generate high levels of aldehydes only in ‘dry puff’ conditions
TL;DR: Electronic cigarettes produce high levels of aldehyde only in dry puff conditions, in which the liquid overheats, causing a strong unpleasant taste that e-cigarette users detect and avoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Editorial: Nicotine and SARS-CoV-2: COVID-19 may be a disease of the nicotinic cholinergic system.

TL;DR: It seems that immune dysregulation may be implicated in the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19, a pandemic that has evolved from the emergence of a new coronav virus strain, acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), in China.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Although at baseline both groups had similar plasma nicotine levels, smokers consistently exhibited lower levels at all time-periods; at 5-minutes the levels were lower by 46%, while during the subsequent period they were lower than those observed after smoking 1 tobacco cigarette.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: E-cigarette use in the European Union appears to be largely confined to current or former smokers, while current use and nicotine use by people who have never smoked is rare.
