  • ECIG Users and Cigarette Users Needed

    E-cig users, cigarette users and non-smokers are needed for a research study to examine the

    effects using these products have on your airway compared to a non-smoker. To participate

    you must be between 18-55, a daily user of e-cig or regular cigarette or be a non-smoker, have

    no medical or psychological condition that you are taking daily medication for and have no

    history of lung disease. This study involves only 1 visit, which will take about 2 hours. The visit

    involves health questions, a questionnaire, brief exam, blood draw and sputum induction to

    obtain sputum. Participants will receive $100 compensation.
