Vaping Research Reference Links

We are learning so much about Vaping in a very short period of time. Almost every week, if not every day a new research article or paper appears, it’s difficult to keep abreast of it all. We’ve attempted to place in one location easy access to articles on Vaping for you. We’ve tried to place the articles under headings to help narrow your search if your after specific information. (Please note some articles may require subscription or payment of a fee to access by the author)

Please feel free to review and know this is not an exhaustive list, we are very happy for you to share with us any articles you have come across for inclusion in the list. We will attempt to update this list as we become aware of new information, so it may change from one time to the next that you visit it.
