Study Summary
This trial will study the effects of nicotine reduction (NR) on young electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) users as a potential regulatory strategy to reduce the addictiveness and use of ENDS.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 21-35 who use electronic cigarettes, can attend lab sessions, and have not used e-cigarettes for 12 hours before each visit. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, THC users, those with COVID-19 symptoms or exposure, regular tobacco/nicotine product users in the past year, people with chronic diseases or psychiatric conditions are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how reducing nicotine levels in electronic cigarettes affects addiction and usage among young adults. Participants will try e-cigarettes with different nicotine concentrations: 0%, 3%, and 5% to see if lower nicotine reduces addictiveness as part of a regulatory strategy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for this trial, generally vaping can cause throat irritation, coughing, dry mouth and increased thirst; however these vary based on individual reactions to different levels of nicotine.

Other Research
The most common treatments for vaping focus on reducing nicotine dependence and usage through strategies such as nicotine reduction (NR). NR involves gradually lowering the nicotine content in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) to decrease the user's addiction and overall consumption.
This approach aims to reduce the reinforcing effects of nicotine, making it easier for users to quit or reduce their use. Additionally, behavioral interventions, such as counseling and support groups, complement NR by addressing the psychological aspects of addiction.
These treatments are crucial for vaping patients as they target both the physical and mental components of nicotine dependence, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful cessation and reducing the health risks associated with prolonged nicotine use.
