The effects of vaping on lung inflammation

Inflammation

Vaping has become common in Canada. There is little information regarding its safety despite its wide use. We will test how two sessions of vaping affects inflammation in the lung. We will test people who vape regularly and those who have never vaped to see if the lung inflammation is different between these groups. We will avoid vaping liquids that have nicotine in them since that is highly addictive.
