About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) as a vaping cessation intervention in young adults aged 18-29 who vape nicotine at least 25 days per month and are interested in cutting down or quitting. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can mindfulness practice reduce nicotine cravings in young adults? * Is mindfulness practice an acceptable and feasible intervention for vaping cessation in this population?

Researchers will compare participants in the mindfulness intervention group to a control group that watches a video with calming music and images to see if mindfulness practice has a greater effect on reducing nicotine cravings.

Participants will:

* Complete a baseline survey and craving cue reactivity assessment. * Engage in a 10-minute guided mindfulness meditation (intervention group) or view calming music and images (control group). * Rate their cravings and the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the intervention after the session.

Secondary outcomes

1

Craving

Craving for e-cigarettes will be measured with the adapted Visual Analog Craving Scale before and after each cue and the intervention/control to assess their craving intensity. Participants rate craving intensity by selecting a position along a line anchored on the left by "not at all" and on the right by "more than ever."

Time frame
Within 20 minutes before and after a ten minute guided mindfulness meditation practice.
