Scientists to Track Health Effects of Vaping After Quitting

The University of Birmingham is conducting the EVALUATE study, led by Dr. Aaron Scott, to investigate the long-term health effects of vaping as a smoking cessation aid. The £1.46 million project funded by the MRC will monitor 200 participants over a year, comparing their lung health to non-smokers. Researchers will analyze gene expression, toxic substance accumulation, and lung cell changes to understand vaping's impact on health. This study is crucial given the WHO's concerns about rising global vaping rates. The aim is to provide evidence for individuals to make informed decisions about quitting smoking with e-cigarettes.
