Highlights
• Aerosols of a heat-not-burn tobacco product elicited lower impacts compared with smoke of 3R4F reference cigarettes.
• Systems toxicology revealed changes at the cellular–molecular levels not otherwise apparent from morphological features.
• The reduced impact of heated tobacco aerosols on small airway was similar than that on nasal epithelial cultures.

This study investigated the in vitro mutagenicity of e-cigarettes and designed a study to deliver e-cigarette aerosol on an undiluted per puff basis under extreme testing conditions, using the Ames assay across a broader range of bacterial tester strains. The Vitrocell VC 10 smoking robot, previously used to generate and dilute cigarette smoke aerosols was modified to enable the testing of an undiluted e-cigarette aerosol.

The objectives of this study included to demonstrate robustness and reproducibility of systems biology data obtained from an organotypic in vitro nasal culture model for cigarette smoke and aerosol exposure assessment. Cellular stress and pro-inflammatory responses were investigated on the primary nasal epithelial cells of a non-smoker.
