The University of Wisconsin-Madison is getting funding to study the long-term health effects of vaping.
The university made the announcement on Monday. The National Institute of Health gave UW a five-point-seven-million-dollar grant over five years to support the Vape Check study. Over 600 people over 21-years-old will be involved in the study and periodically get their vital signs checked and blood sampled. Researchers will not be looking t the harmful effects of vaping but rather take a more neutral approach.
