Initial Award Abstract
As cigarette use remains stable or possibly slightly declines in the US, the use of alternative products increases. This proposal will measure the dose of smoke from two of these alternatives, little cigars, regionally throughout the lungs of rats with the goal of improving the performance of mathematical models that predict dose in humans. The resulting model will be public domain so investigators can explore dose of these alternatives and their implications for health and addiction.
