ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Sex Differences in E-cig Perception: Study 1," is looking at how men and women may experience e-cigarettes differently. Researchers want to understand how the flavors of e-cigarettes, specifically sweet and cooling flavors, affect people's feelings and attraction to them, particularly in people who already smoke cigarettes and have used e-cigarettes recently.

To participate, you need to be between 21 and 44 years old, currently smoke cigarettes, and have used e-cigarettes at least ten times in the past six months. You should also be willing to avoid nicotine or tobacco for about 6-8 hours before your lab visit. The study is currently recruiting participants, and it's important to note that those with certain health conditions or who are pregnant are not eligible to join. If you qualify and decide to participate, you'll have the opportunity to help researchers learn more about how different people perceive e-cigarettes, which could lead to better support for those dealing with nicotine addiction.
