The University of Minnesota has a new clinical trial that will examine the health impacts of e-cigarettes.
"University of Minnesota researchers aim to address that dilemma with a study examining exactly what smokers inhale when they breathe e-cigarette vapors and how 'vaping' affects the body," writes Jeremy Olson in the Star Tribune. "Researchers will collect blood, urine and saliva samples from at least 25 smokers who use only e-cigarettes and at least 25 who use them with traditional cigarettes."
A researcher from the University of Minnesota joins The Daily Circuit to discuss the study.
