5. Study Description

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.
