The smoking laboratory is a collaborative effort between the Social Sciences Research Institute (SSRI) and the colleges of Liberal Arts and Health and Human Development. It has resulted in the construction of the Smoking Behavior Research Facility located in the Chandlee Laboratory at the Pennsylvania State University – University Park campus. The laboratory was conceived to facilitate the University’s developing strength in tobacco-related research and to continue the development of interdisciplinary research, both across colleges and across Penn State campuses. The Smoking Research Laboratory includes a number of state-of-the-art features that allow for a range of research methodologies and approaches that have been difficult to accomplish previously at Penn State University. The laboratory includes a reception area, research participant waiting areas, private work space for researchers and staff, observation areas, as well as a conference area for meetings. The lab has the capability to facilitate blood and saliva collection with refrigeration for temporary sample storage. Another key feature of the space is the four independently ventilated rooms that will allow participants to smoke cigarettes during research sessions, while the remaining areas of the laboratory remain smoke-free. The design of the rooms will allow researchers to collect data on smoking behaviors such as the volume of each cigarette puff, the number of puffs an individual smoker takes, the duration of puffs, the time between puffs, as well as a range of other measures. Additionally, researchers can collect and monitor physiological data such as heart rate or blood pressure while the participant is actively smoking. The laboratory is in use by Steven Branstetter, Ph.D. http://bbh.hhdev.psu.edu/lab/Smoking-Health-Behavior , Stephen Wilson, Ph.D. http://wilsonlab.la.psu.edu/index.html , and Charles Geier, Ph.D http://www.geierbrainlab.com/ .
