Vaporized Nicotine and Autonomic Control

Completed · Early Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Electronic Cigarette Use

In brief

E-cigarettes are marketed as an alternative to smoking for those who want to decrease the health risks of tobacco. Tobacco cigarettes increase heart rate (HR) and arterial pressure, while reducing muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) through sympathetic baroreflex inhibition. The acute effects of e-cigarettes on arterial pressure and MSNA have not been reported: our purpose was to clarify this issue. Using a randomized crossover design, participants inhaled on a JUUL containing nicotine (59 mg/ml) and a similar placebo e-cigarette (0 mg/ml).
