Is vaping really a better option than traditional smoking? FIU researchers want to find out.

FIU’s Clinical Research Lab for Tobacco Smoking looks at the addiction and toxicity profile of emerging tobacco use methods and ways to reduce their harm. With several newly funded projects, the lab has just begun recruitment efforts for a variety of studies looking at e-cigarettes.

These studies aim to provide public health practitioners, policymakers and regulators with evidence that will allow them to respond to the growth of e-cigarette use among young people in the US and reduce its harm.
