No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to examine the cognitive, immunological, and neurophysiological effects of transitioning from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes. The central hypothesis of this study is that this transition will be accompanied by a decrease in peripheral inflammation, which will lead to significant changes in the neurocircuitry underlying interoception and appetite.
