Summary

This trial will study the effects of mentholated e-cigarettes compared to tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes in order to help the FDA assess the risks of mentholated e-cigarettes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 21-35 who use e-cigarettes at least occasionally in the past month. Participants must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other tobacco products regularly. They should have no chronic diseases, psychiatric conditions, cardiovascular issues, or regular medication use (except vitamins/birth control).
What is being tested?
The study examines if menthol flavor in e-cigarettes affects addiction and exposure to toxicants more than tobacco flavor. It's a crossover study where participants will try both flavors during separate sessions and researchers will measure their puffing patterns and clinical responses.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this trial, generally vaping can lead to throat irritation, coughing, dry mouth or eyes, headache and potential nicotine dependence.
