Research summary
It is widely recognized that the newer-generations of e-cigarettes have become more efficient in delivering nicotine compared to earlier generation products but still fail to appeal to smokers in terms of the speed of nicotine delivery compared to conventional cigarettes. The goal of this study will be to evaluate plasma nicotine concentrations, subjective and behavioral effects of smoking, and topography parameters (puff volume, number of puffs and puff duration) of an e-cigarette with four liquids of various nicotine levels. The study will be performed in experienced e-cigarette users following a single-use experience with fixed puffing and after ad libitum use of P4M3 (Platform 4 Mesh Heater Version 3) over a 60 minute period.
To investigate this, 16 healthy male and female subjects aged between 19-65 years who have used e-cigarettes daily for at least 1 month prior to the screening visit will be enrolled into this study which will be conducted at one UK site.REC name
