The purpose of this study is to determine if oxidative stress derived from cigarette smoking
increases vitamin E requirements. The study will also assess the role of vitamin C in
modulating vitamin E requirements. Vitamin E requirements will be assessed by measuring
vitamin E in plasma as well as by measuring the excreted vitamin E metabolite in the urine.
