Summary
Although e-cigarettes have not been available long enough to assess their long-term effects, evidence suggests vaping may cause harm, especially in those who have never smoked. This project aims to investigate potential mechanisms of harm using a range of methods and data sources. The student will examine epigenetic changes associated with vaping, explore nicotine’s causal role in health issues linked to both smoking and vaping, and identify short- and medium-term physiological and clinical effects. Large datasets and cohort studies will support this work, providing insight into the potential health impacts of vaping and contributing to evidence-based public health policy.
