The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) releases a study on HT aerosol compared  to combustible cigarette smoke using the Health Canada Intense smoking regime, finding reductions in select toxicants of between 80-99%. This publication indicates that significant reductions in the levels of selected toxicants are likely to reduce toxicant exposure, which BfR stated might be regarded as a “discrete benefit” compared to combustible cigarettes.
