Study Summary

This trial studies biomarkers obtained by bronchoscopy (bronchoalveolar lavage and lung brushings) to determine the effect of smoking e-cigarettes on the lungs. Studying samples of lung cells from participants who smoke e-cigarettes may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Primary Outcome

Obtained via bronchoscopy with saline bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and bronchial brushings. Descriptive statistics and clustering (e.g., principal components analysis \[PCA\]), will be performed for all biomarker data measured at the different visits. Baseline data (1st bronchoscopy) will then be compared between the four groups (3 conditions and control) using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test (continuous or ordinal variables) or the chi-square test
