Michigan Technological University professor seeks willing participants for a study of those who use nicotine products. Professor William Cooke, with the MTU Department of Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology, seeks men and women who smoke, vape, chew or use a nicotine patch to participate in a research study. The study will seek to determine how the human body responds to simulated blood loss and how these responses might differ for those who use nicotine. Participants in the study will earn 100 compensation for their involvement. Those interested in participating in the study can find more information online. Potential study participants will need to contact Professor William Cooke for more information and to sign up for the study.
