About this trial

Current labels for the nicotine in e-cigarette/vaping products do not sufficiently convey information to the public. The aims of this study include developing and validating two new types of labels for the nicotine in vaping products: nicotine concentration and nicotine flux (reflecting nicotine emissions). Investigators will survey youth (ages 14-20) and adults (ages 21+ \[21 is the legal age to purchase tobacco products in the U.S.\]) to evaluate the utility of several new labels investigators have developed.
