Effects of Very Low Nicotine Content Cigarettes and Nicotine Vaping Device Characteristics on Choices to Smoke, Vape, or Abstain in Early Young Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A national nicotine reduction policy could reduce the public health toll of smoking. However, reducing nicotine in cigarettes may lead to changes in the use of other tobacco products such as nicotine vaping devices, particularly among young people. Product use outcomes may depend on the characteristics of available nicotine vaping devices. We aimed to determine the impact of cigarette nicotine content, vaping device nicotine concentration, and vaping device flavors on choices to smoke, vape, or abstain.

Aims and methods

Early young adults (ages 18-20 inclusive, N = 80) who reported smoking daily and vaping nicotine at least twice in their lifetime participated in a laboratory study. Participants received either very low nicotine content (VLNC; 0.4 mg nicotine/g
