Study Summary

Despite the explosive popularity of sweet flavored electronic cigarettes, there is little empirical evidence regarding how "sweet" flavors interact with different levels of nicotine to reduce its perceived bitterness and harshness, and thereby increase its appeal and additive potential. This study will serve to fill this knowledge gap through empirical psychophysical data that will determine the association between sweet flavor and nicotine and its link to the acceptance and rejection of vaped nicotine.

Primary Outcome

The outcome will be ratings obtained for liking or disliking of the stimulus and ratings for perceived intensities of sensations. These quantitative values collected from the scaling procedure will be analyzed corresponding to the level of nicotine and flavor for the particular stimulus. For rating perceived intensity, we will use the general Labeled Magnitude Scale (gLMS), developed for measurement of the intensity of oral sensation and taste. The scale is bounded by 'no sensation' at the botto
