Join a USC Study on Vaping and E-Cigarette Use for Cigarette Smokers

Purpose

The number of people who vape and use e-cigarettes has been increasing, particularly among young adults. We want to examine how factors associated with vaping and e-cigarette use, such as flavoring and nicotine level, effect people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

If you participate in this study, we will ask you to complete the study remotely, complete some questionnaires about your nicotine and tobacco use history, and vape e-liquids that we provide to you.

Keywords: smoking, smoker, cigarette, nicotine, tobacco, research
