Patient and Public Involvement activities in vaping and E-cigarette users
Introduction
Research Area:
Cancer/ Health Research/ Lung injury/ Public Health/ Vaping/E-cigarette
What is the research about?
The long-term negative health impacts of vaping are unknown. The potential toxicants generated from the thermal breakdown of e-liquid ingredients has been reported within the research community. This research will combine machine learning, a toxicant database, chemical hazard classification, and laboratory experiments to investigate the highest risk factors in vaping liquids in an effort to prevent another tobacco-like health catastrophe.
This involvement opportunity will be a single meeting with PPI contributors to gain valuable insights for our research in the grant-application process. We hope for there to be further involvement opportunities over the four-year lifespan of the project.
