The 2014 Surgeon General's Report on the Health Consequences of Smoking concludes that changes in the physical design of cigarettes have caused an increased risk of developing lung cancer. One prominent cigarette design feature is filter ventilation, which has become increasingly common since the
Study Design: A factorial design will be employed with exercise frequency (6 days/week or 2 days/week) treated as a between-subjects variable and time (baseline, end of training, end follow-up) treated as a within subjects variable. Subjects will be randomly assigned to exercise groups (6 days/week,
On day 1 the subjects will be asked to smoke either the e-cigarette or a "traditional" one for 5 minutes. On day 2 the subject will be ask to smoke for 5 minutes the other kind of cigarette.
Exhaled Nitric Oxide will be measured in a sitting position with a nose clip using an analyzer equipped with
