Summary

This trial looks at how nicotine form, concentration, and flavor affects youth vaping behavior and health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 21-25 who exclusively use e-cigarettes daily for the last 3 months. Participants must abstain from all tobacco and nicotine for 12 hours before lab sessions, commit to five lab visits, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Those with unstable psychiatric conditions, recent heart issues, frequent marijuana use, other tobacco product use, or lung diseases like asthma are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how different forms of nicotine in e-cigarettes (varying in concentration and flavor) affect vaping habits and health outcomes in youth. It involves multiple lab sessions where participants' responses to these variations are observed.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, potential risks may include throat irritation, coughing, dry mouth or throat; increased heart rate or blood pressure; headaches; dizziness; nausea; changes in taste perception.
