Effects of nicotine content and preferred flavor on subjective responses to e-cigarettes: A randomized, placebo-controlled laboratory study

CONCLUSIONS: These findings support differential and non-interactive effects of e-liquid nicotine content and flavor on reinforcing effects of e-cigarettes.IMPLICATIONS: E-liquid flavor and nicotine content have independent, non-interactive effects on subjective responses to vaping under controlled laboratory conditions. Among regular e-cigarette users, vaping a preferred flavor increased taste and satisfaction, but did not interact with nicotine to alter reward or craving. Further research on the ways in which these subjective effects may motivate vaping behavior among different populations of e-cigarette users would be useful to inform regulatory policy of ENDS products.PMID:37539752 | DOI:10.1093/ntr/ntad143
