Nicotine Vapor Sensory Study

Research Question:
How are flavors experienced by daily vapers, and how do they relate to the phenomenon of "indirect" harm?

Basic Study Information

Purpose:
This study aims to develop reliable and valid measures of sensory experiences that are unique to e-cigarette use. In particular, we are interested in the experience commonly described as a "throat hit," which is a function of the type/concentration of nicotine and the carrier liquid. Participants will vape e-liquids we provide and answer questionnaires - all over Zoom. To be included in this study, participants must meet the following criteria: 1) Age 21-55; 2) Current daily vapers of products containing nicotine; 3) Not using other tobacco products; 4) No taste or smell deficits including from allergies (specifically active, untreated, seasonal allergies that would interfere with smell or taste procedures); 5) Access to video-conference or telephone
