Research study for individuals who use an electronic vaping device.

Researchers from the UNC School of Medicine and the Center for Environmental Medicine and Lung Biology are recruiting otherwise healthy individuals who currently vape. There is a good deal of scientific information available on the effects of regular cigarette smoking on lung tissue, but very little on how electronic vaping devices may affect lung tissue. You will have a small amount of blood drawn and also undergo other procedures to make measurements of your lungs and how they clear lung secretions.
