Selon les fabricants, la façon d’informer l'utilisateur de la teneur en nicotine des cartouches varie et n’ est pas toujours claire. Ainsi, la concentration en nicotine contenue dans une CE [cigarette électronique] peut être présentée en pourcentage(1, 8 %, 1, 2 %, 0, 6 % et 0, 0 %) ou en unité de masse [forte/élevée(16 mg), régulière/moyenne(11 mg), légère/faible(6 mg), sans nicotine(0 mg) ]. [Certains auteurs] rapportent que l'appellation «forte», pour la teneur en nicotine, peut être associée à une concentration de 16 mg pour une marque et de 24 mg pour une autre. De plus, les auteurs soulignent que lorsque la teneur en nicotine est présentée en «mg», il n’ est pas toujours clair s’il s’agit d’une concentration en mg/cartouche ou en mg/ml. 2, record 1, French, - teneur%20en%20nicotine
