Summary
This study asks over 3,000 teens and young adults (ages 13–20) who vape or are open to vaping to watch and rate five short anti-vaping ads. Participants answer questions about how effective the ads seem and whether the ads change their urge to vape. A smaller group takes a follow-up survey two weeks later to see if they remember the ads. The goal is to identify which ad features are most memorable and persuasive, helping public health campaigns better reach young people.
