Nicholas Wagner and Marie Camerota, graduate students in Developmental Psychology, are the recipients of a Pilot Research Grant from the Center for Regulatory Research on Tobacco Control for their study on electronic cigarettes.
The study investigates the perceptions, prevalence, and patters of use of electronic cigarettes among pregnant women. With the collection of umbilical cord samples, the study compares levels of nicotine exposures between mothers who use tobacco cigarettes and those who use electronic cigarettes.
