The study is focused on investigating the mechanisms involved in microvascular health in subjects that use e-cigarettes frequently. To explore microvascular health, different techniques and compounds. For one of the tests, iontophoresis, the drug's use will be stored and handled as described by the approved IND and non-IDS plan.
Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes have become increasingly popular, due to their promotion as a healthy alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes. However, there are large discrepancies of knowledge in understanding how these e-cigarettes affect the subjects health and the way their body uses oxygen. The overall goal of this study is to evaluate e-cigarettes usage on subjects health.
