<h3>Importance</h3> Alkaline free-base nicotine is bitter and a respiratory irritant. High-nicotine electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) products contain acid additives that change from to protonated salt chemical form, which could improve the sensory experience of vaping, particularly among never smokers unaccustomed inhaling nicotine. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether exposure e-cigarettes with vs formulations improves appeal vaping formulation effects differ by e-cigarette flavor ever...
Objectives: Effective regulations that reduce nicotine vaping among young adult dual (combustible and e-cigarette) users may differ depending on whether e-cigarettes are used for helping with smoking cessation. This laboratory experiment examined flavor effects e-cigarette product appeal users, stratified by reported use of to quit smoking. Methods: Dual aged 18-35 years did (N = 31) or not 22) report the purpose quitting puffed solutions varied a (fruit, menthol, tobacco)...
Scientists and regulators need parsimonious methods of characterizing flavored e-cigarettes which may vary widely in both chemical flavoring constituents marketing descriptors. This laboratory experiment characterized user-reported appeal experience five cross-cutting sensory attributes (sweetness, bitterness, smoothness, harshness, coolness) 10 common e-cigarette flavors. In a within-subject double-blind single-visit protocol, current nicotine/tobacco product users (
E-cigarettes with candy-themed marketing are implicated in decisions to first try e-cigarettes but have unknown effects on the experience of vaping. We compared adults' perceived appeal and sensory attributes after self-administering flavoured experimentally manipulated packaging versus standard marketing. also assessed effect modification by salt vs free-base nicotine formulation.
