Abstract

Our research group sampled 15 subjects lungs in a semester-long project. Will there be a significant difference between the lung capacity and lung volume of cigarette smokers, vapers, and non-smokers? It is hypothesized that the lung capacity and lung volume of cigarette smokers and vapers should be relatively equal. Additionally, it is hypothesized that the non-smokers’ lung capacity and lung volume should be significantly higher relative to cigarette smokers and vapers.
