Effect of Electronic Cigarette Use on Cough Reflex Sensitivity

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Cough

In brief

Although electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are now widely used, very little information exists regarding the effect of electronic cigarette use (vaping) on the respiratory system. The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of one e-cig vaping session (30 puffs 30 seconds apart) on cough reflex sensitivity in healthy adult nonsmokers.
