First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether placing health warning labels directly on e-cigarette devices and refills makes adult vapers more likely to quit. Over 1,300 participants aged 21+ were randomly assigned to receive no warnings, text warnings, or pictorial warnings on their devices. Researchers measured quit intentions and knowledge of vaping harms over four weeks.
