Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Cancer-causing agents in new tobacco products
    (University of Minnesota Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center, 2006-05-10) Stepanov, I.; Jensen, J.; Hatsukami, Dorothy K.; Hecht, S.S.
    To assess whether new, so-called "reduced exposure" tobacco products contain reduced levels of tobacco-specific cancer-causing agents, scientists at the University of Minnesota measured the level of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) in 19 different brands of tobacco products, including several new varieties.

    Cigarette reduction: Can it reduce exposure to toxins?
    (University of Minnesota Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center, 2006-12-22) Hatsukami, Dorothy K.; Le, C.T.; Shang, Y.; Joseph, A.M.; Mooney, M.E.; Carmella, S.G.; Hecht, S.S.
    To assess the degree of compensatory smoking in those who reduce their cigarette intake, researchers at the University of Minnesota Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center (UMN TTURC)measured levels of total 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (total NNAL) in the urine of light smokers and of heavy smokers who reduced their cigarette use by at least 40%.

    Modified tobacco products: are they safer?
    (University of Minnesota Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center, 2004-06-03) Hatsukami, Dorothy K.
    To assess whether switching to modified tobacco products reduces the amount of tobacco-specific carcinogens in the body, scientists at the University of Minnesota measured carcinogen uptake in smokers who were using either a “reduced exposure” tobacco product (Swedish snuff or the Omni cigarette)or medicinal nicotine. Those using medicinal nicotine had greater reductions. Reductions of carcinogen uptake from modified cigarettes was modest at best.
