Breathing exercise for lung function in young male vapers
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a specific breathing exercise (the Wim Hof method) can help improve lung function in young adult men who vape. It may help you understand if this breathing practice can reduce some of the effects of smoking or vaping on your lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male between 18 and 29 years old.
- You currently vape (use electronic cigarettes) and have a moderate or high level of dependence.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 29.9.
- You have never fainted, had seizures, or epilepsy.

This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help teenagers with a blocked eustachian tube (the tube that connects the ear to the throat) whose parents smoke. It aims to improve ear and lung function.
This study uses a special lung scan (MRI) and breathing tests to understand how vaping affects lung structure and function. It may help researchers learn what early lung changes happen after starting vaping, even if you don’t feel sick.
This trial tests how the Wim Hof method (a breathing and cold exposure technique) affects your heart and exercise performance during aerobic training. It is designed for healthy young adults.
This trial tests if combining a special breathing method (Buteyko) with chest exercises can improve lung function and quality of life in current or long-term smokers aged 40-55. It may help if your breathing tests show reduced lung capacity.
This study tests a mindfulness program designed to help young adults (ages 18–29) reduce or quit vaping. You'll learn simple breathing and awareness techniques to manage cravings and build healthier habits.
This study compares lung function and exercise capacity among different groups: people who vape, people who smoke cigarettes, and people who do neither. It aims to understand how vaping devices affect lungs over time.
