There has been a time when the Camel Man was a symbol of masculinity, cigarette companies have been the sponsors to most major sporting events and smoking was all around considered to not only be a highly accepted but even encouraged habit at social events, the office and even on airliners. Over recent decades this picture was however turned on its head for extensive research on smoking and smokers’ habits, the impact the habit has on the health of the smoker and those closest to the fumes from every smoldering cigarette brought about significant change in perceptions. One company that has been involved in the research linked to substance usage and the behavior of those who opt for a certain kind of nicotine fix, has been the team at CSUR.

The team of experts in the field confirms while research back then has been more focused on the impact the use of nicotine has on the human body and mind, this has changed completely. Today they cover a wide range of research interest from the specific behavior of smokers and those who prefer the use of ENDS to get their nicotine fix, to learn more about why smokers still prefer to ...
... light up when there is so much proof indicating that ENDS are far more beneficial to opt for to get your needed nicotine.

Their list of research topics also includes focal points such as what pathways does those follow who prefer ENDS and is the purpose of this pathway to opt for a different experience, is it about the fun element marketers often link to the use of vaping devices or the different flavor options available. They explore whether the reason for usage is to eventually quit smoking cigarettes completely or is it due to more severe government regulations or maybe even to lure new users into the market.
The CSUR team initially formed part of the University of Glasgow’s substance use team, but since then evolved into a research giant working alongside some of the most prominent substance regulation bodies to provide valuable input regarding the behavior of nicotine users. They offer their services to help suppliers and manufacturers of these kinds of products to adhere to regulatory requirements to get the needed approval they must have before they can make their options available to the market.

Yet, this team is not only involved in extensive research but also sharing the knowledge of their findings with the relevant parties. There are quite a few misconceptions regarding the risks involved in ENDS. As an uninformed market is a market at risk, it is vital to provide the much-needed platforms to provide crucial information to help users to make choices that are the best for them and for which they have access to all the necessary information.

When it comes to habits, one of the most interesting areas of their research is to determine why it is that regardless of some severe restrictions in many countries across the globe, people still opt to rather light up than opting for vaping which they would be able to do nearly everywhere. It is the insights they gain from this kind of research, insights such as smokers craving a higher level of nicotine than what was available with ENDS until recently, that help developers of these devices to create solutions that are better suited and closer to the entire smoking experience. Through design changes and the addition of for example nic salts, vapers too can now enjoy high levels of nicotine without suffering the burning throat experience.

The research topics covered by the team of experts at CSUR are not only a vital tool in the regulation of nicotine products but also to aid in making the necessary changes to reduce the number of people who still opt for lighting up.

About Us
Our story starts in 1994 when we were part of the University of Glasgow and involved in substance research. From here we moved on to become more involved in developing behavior-focused science intending to put relevant regulation in place for these substances in 2011. Our team has always been involved in the process and research projects alongside the governing bodies of the substances we research and together we work towards optimising the risk and harm related to the use of any combustible tobacco products.
