NCT ID NCT05423340

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether switching from banned e-cigarette flavors (like fruit or candy) to a tobacco flavor or using nicotine pouches could reduce signs of inflammation in daily vapers. 163 participants were randomly assigned to one of these options. The goal was to see if these changes could lower health risks associated with vaping.
