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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Live Free From E-cigarettes online educational program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, scalable online tool to help young adults cut back on vaping and avoid starting smoking.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 105 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is brief and may not lead to lasting changes.
