Changes in Biomarkers Associated With Use of Electronic Cigarettes

Changes in Biomarkers Associated With Use of Electronic Cigarettes Among African American Menthol and Nonmenthol Smokers
The objective of this clinical trial was to compare the effects of e-cigarettes with and without nicotine on patterns of combustible cigarette use and biomarkers of exposure to tobacco toxicants among African American smokers.

Detailed Description
This study compares patterns of e-cigarette use and the exposure to the tobacco-specific carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) in African American smokers, randomized to ad lib e-cigarettes containing nicotine vs. no nicotine.
We hypothesized that nicotine e-cigarettes would be used more than no-nicotine e-cigarettes, and that this would be associated with reduced use of combustible cigarettes.
We hypothesized that nicotine e-cigarettes would result in more substitution for combusted cigarettes than no-nicotine e-cigarettes and result in lower levels of exposure to the tobacco-specific carcinogen NNAL.
These results would be relevant for developing exposure reduction strategies for adult African American smokers.
