- Brief Summary
Randomized controlled trial of electronic cigarettes with nicotine, without nicotine, and sham control, on sympathetic nerve activity and markers of oxidative stress.
- Detailed Description
Participants will use an electronic cigarette on 3 occasions: 1) with nicotine, 2) without nicotine, 3) sham control, and measures of autonomic tone, including heart rate variability (HRV) and sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA: microneurography), and oxidative stress will be measured pre and post exposure.
