ABSTRACT
The exposure and health implications of exhaled aerosol particles from tobacco products remain a critical area of concern in public health. This research aimed to characterize the cytotoxicity of exhaled aerosol particles from conventional cigarettes (CC) and heated tobacco products (HTP) using a novel "Cells-on-Particles" integrated aerosol sampling and cytotoxicity in vitro testing platform. The research uniquely captures the physical and chemical characteristics of aerosols by depositing them onto fibrous matrixes, enabling a more accurate representation of exposure conditions. New insights were provided into the differences between CC and HTP in terms of particle size distributions, cell viability, metabolic activity, and the expression of genes related to xenobiotic metabolism and oxidative stress. This approach marks a significant advancement in the field by offering a more direct and representative method to evaluate the potential health hazards of tobacco aerosol particles.
