Health Effects of Humectants in Tobacco Products Humectants are used in the manufacturing of some tobacco products, such as cigarettes. They are used to control and maintain the moisture content of the cut tobacco filler http://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/12454795/reload=0;jsessionid=vkxxa8EqdJHa8jp6KMlA.0

With the rise of products like "waterpipes," it is important to examine their health risks as well. In an examination of waterpipe smoking, researchers worked to identify substances such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein in the smoke of the smoke of the waterpipe, discovering that the value of formaldehyde detected in one smoking session was five times higher than that of a regular cigarette. This data demonstrated that increasing amounts of humectants in the unburned tobacco lowers the temperate in the waterpipe head during smoking, in which considerable amounts of toxic substance is present, and therefore a health risk to waterpipe smokers http://www.unboundmedicine.com/evidence/ub/citation/22707202/Waterpipe_smoking:_the_role_of_humectants_in_the_release_of_toxic_carbonyls_
