NCT ID NCT05338801
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how menthol flavor in e-cigarettes affects users' puffing habits, nicotine levels, and dependence compared to tobacco flavor. Researchers will have 250 young adults (ages 21-35) use both flavors in separate lab visits. The goal is to provide evidence for the FDA to decide if menthol-flavored e-cigarettes should be regulated to reduce harm.
