VapALERT is a five-year study that tracks people who vape daily to understand how vaping might affect lung and heart health. Researchers will do regular breathing tests, collect blood samples, and ask about your vaping habits and any symptoms you notice. The goal is to identify both obvious and hidden health effects from daily vaping.
While vaping is often thought to be safer than cigarettes, we don't know enough about its long-term effects on lungs and hearts. This study aims to fill that gap by carefully monitoring daily vapers to catch early warning signs of problems that might not cause obvious symptoms yet.

If you join, you'll visit the research center every 6 months for 5 years. At each visit, you'll do breathing tests (including some where you breathe in a mild irritant to see how your airways respond), answer questions about your vaping and smoking habits, and have blood drawn and sputum samples collected. The study is based in the Quebec City area.
