MRI and Biological Markers of Acute E-Cigarette Exposure in Smokers and Vapers
Study Overview
This research study is being conducted to examine the effects of electronic cigarette aerosol, in the presence and absence of nicotine, on the endothelium, a layer of cells that act as a protective barrier and play an important part in controlling the flow of blood around the body.
Study Description
Smokers and vapers: This group will complete three study visits. During each visit blood is drawn twice, an MRI is performed twice, and a smoking challenge is completed. No more than 30, and no fewer than 3 days can pass between each visit. A parking voucher and monetary compensation will be provided for each visit ($150 for every visit completed, $450 in total).
Nonsmokers: This group will complete one study visit during which blood is drawn once, one MRI is performed, and a hematocrit measurement is taken. A parking voucher and monetary compensation will be provided ($100 for one visit).
