Summary

This pilot study tested a 30-minute online educational program called 'Live Free From E-cigarettes' in 105 young adults aged 18-24 who vape at least once a week. The program provides information about the harms of e-cigarettes and smoking, social norms, and tips to quit or reduce use. Participants were randomly assigned to either the program or a control group and completed surveys over 8 weeks to see if the program helped reduce vaping and smoking susceptibility.
