Appeal and Sensory Characteristics of Oral Nicotine Products in Young Adults Who Vape E-Cigarettes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study applied a novel tobacco regulatory science paradigm to characterize inter-product variation in the appeal and sensory features of emerging commercial and therapeutic oral nicotine products (ONPs) among young adults who vape e-cigarettes.

Aims and methods

Twenty-three young adults without ONP experience who use e-cigarettes completed a single-blind, single-visit remote lab study. Participants rated appeal and sensory characteristics during 5-minute standardized self-administrations of eight ONPs (four fruits and four mints) from various brands (Lucy, Rouge, Solace, Nicorette, On!, and Velo). Participants were randomized between-subjects to ONP type (pouches or gum).

Results

Gum ONPs were rated sweeter (B = 19.5, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 4.
