About This Study
The purpose of this study is to find out how using e-cigarettes for a long time affects the brain. We will compare people who switched to e-cigarettes with people who quit all tobacco and nicotine. The goal is to learn if switching to e-cigarettes helps the brain as much as quitting smoking.
We are looking for volunteers who fall into one of four groups: people who have never smoked, current cigarette smokers, former cigarette smokers who now use e-cigarettes, and former cigarette smokers who no longer use any tobacco or nicotine products.
