Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are a rapidly growing global epidemic among adolescents and young adults. Unlike other ENDS such as e-cigarettes, e-hookahs are used through traditional water-pipes, allowing the vapor-containing nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, and flavorings-to pass through a water-filled basin, potentially altering the vapor, before it is inhaled through the user's mouth. Contributing to e-hookahs popularity is the belief that the flavored smoke is detoxified as it passes through the water-filled basin, rendering e-hookah a safer tobacco alternative. However, an e-hookahs deliver flavored nicotine by creating a vapor of fine particles and volatile organic compounds that could induce vascular toxicity. While e-hookah vaping acutely reduces endothelial function, the specific role of nicotine and the mechanisms by which it may impairs endothelial function remain understudied. The objective of this project is to investigate the specific role of nicotine in mediating the acute effects of e-hookah vaping on endothelial dysfunction.

e-hookah vaping with nicotine

Participants were invited to vape a 30-minute electronic hookah with nicotine vaping session, followed by a 30-minute electronic hookah without nicotine vaping session.

To mitigate the impact of carryover effects, the two sessions were separated by a minimum of 7-days.
