Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: e-hookah vaping without nicotineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants were invited to vape a 30-minute electronic hookah without nicotine vaping session, followed by a 30-minute electronic hookah with nicotine vaping session. To mitigate the impact of carryover effects, the two sessions were separated by a minimum of 7-days.
Group II: e-hookah vaping with nicotineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants were invited to vape a 30-minute electronic hookah with nicotine vaping session, followed by a 30-minute electronic hookah without nicotine vaping session. To mitigate the impact of carryover effects, the two sessions were separated by a minimum of 7-days.
