Summary
Electronic cigarettes, both with and without nicotine, have increased in popularity in many countries. There is a large variation in product types and contents. There is an equally large and increasing need to map existing evidence on potential consequences to human health.
Project plan for an interactive research map
The projects main goal is to systematically map existing research on health risks associated with use of electronic cigarettes, and to identify possible research gaps.
An interactive research map will be prepared, which is a systematic and visual presentation of available research on the broad thematic area of health consequences of using electronic cigarettes.
