Hi tnt, that's a perfectly reasonable question, and I'll try to answer it.

In their original paper, Eissenberg and colleagues trialed e-cigarettes on 'naive' smokers - i.e. smokers who had never used an e-cigarette before. They measured nicotine blood levels after the smokers had puffed on an e-cigarette as if they were puffing on a cigarette. This was compared to the levels of smokers who had just smoked a tobacco cigarette.

On this site, there was a long discussion in which Eissenberg took part (it got pretty heated!). ECF members held that the comparison wasn't valid; that vapers tend to puff for longer and over longer periods of time. Eissenberg is now conducting similar research to see what the effect is on experienced vapers, so as to gain a better understanding of how e-cigarettes really work with respect to this specific (and valid) research question - i.e. nicotine blood levels.

It would, therefore, be of great benefit to all of us for anyone who is able to get to their lab to take part.

Is this lab at Boston University? I'd love to take part in this! I need more info. Where can I get it?

See the first post in this thread.
:)

The first post concerns the focus group where vapers are asked a series of questions for an hour and a half pertaining to e-cig experiences. I'm more interested in the lab that would take blood and measure the nic levels, ect. I'd like to know where it is being conducted and how to become involved.

Hey Will.

I could tell she was impressed with you:p

It was a good meeting.. my thoughts on # 11.. he came for the 6 bucks to buy a pac o butts.

We had good diversity with everyone adamant that vaping was indeed the only way success was achieved getting off the butts.

What was it Will, three days for everyones conversion to vaping only?

I know your new sweetie was impressed with that.:2cool:

I thought it was a hoot that all our stories were identical.:vapor:

I wonder if they understood how simple it can be with the support found on this
forum:confused:

I should copywrite that chart I drew on the "do you mind if I use your white board"

When being asked the same question 6 different ways DRAW A FRIKEN PICTURE! A picture is worth a thousand words:evil:

I know, I know, it was hard for her to get past the vibe you 2 were putting out.

Hey stud boy, It was a pleasure meeting you.

You made her meeting complete:laugh:

I actually paid over night saturday shipping to get juice here a couple weeks ago as I had run out so driving anywhere is better than that I am down cape so if any place closer let me know otherwise a drive to NH isnt that bad I guess.
Drive to my house and Ill mix you something before you buy the stank juice they sell there. Gross don't even sum it up and the prices are through the roof.
