Modeling the effect of stress on vaping behavior among young adults: A randomized cross-over pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laboratory models have been useful in identifying the motivational processes underlying tobacco use. This pilot study aimed at (1)validating a human laboratory model initially developed for smokers to e-cigarette users; (2)applying this model to examine the effects of stress on the reinforcing value of nicotine among young adults.

Methods
