Summary

This study looks at whether teaching college students about the waste from tobacco, e-cigarettes, and cannabis can improve their knowledge and behavior. About 400 students from two California universities will take part. They will receive brief education and support, and researchers will track changes in what they know and how they handle this waste over six months.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that simple education helps people better understand and reduce waste from tobacco, e-cigarettes, and cannabis.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study on two campuses, so results may not apply to other groups or settings. It only measures short-term changes.
