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.
