Primary | Mean Peak Nicotine Concentration | The investigators will compare peak nicotine concentrations between SREC vs. EC use | Collected 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 120 minutes post end vaping session | |
Primary | Mean Time of Peak Nicotine Concentration | Compare peak nicotine concentration between SREC vs. EC use. | Collected 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 120 minutes post end vaping session | |
Primary | Area Under the plasma nicotine concentration-time Curve (AUC) at 120 minutes | Compare peak nicotine concentration between SREC vs. EC | Collected 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 120 minutes post end vaping session | |
Primary | Mean overall systemic nicotine exposure | Descriptive statistics will be used to examine systemic nicotine exposure from use of SREC and compare to EC | during the 3 hr of ad libitum use | |
Primary | Mean inter-puff interval | The patterns of SREC puffing and EC use will be examined looking at the average and variability (SD) of inter-puff interval during the 3 hr of ad libitum use. | during the 3 hr of ad libitum use | |
Primary | Change in Mean score on the Modified Cigarette Evaluation Questionnaire (mCEQ) | The mCEQ use three multi-item domains (subscales) and two single items: "Smoking Satisfaction", "Psychological Reward", "Aversion", "Enjoyment of Respiratory Tract Sensations" and "Craving Reduction". Scores for each subscale are calculated as the average of its individual item responses of The items are rated on a seven-point scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely). Higher scores indicate greater intensity of each smoking effect with, for example, greater satisfaction or psychological reward after smoking. Scores will be compared between SREC and EC use. | Up to 1 month | |
Primary | Change in Mean score on the Minnesota Tobacco Withdrawal Scale-Revised (MTWS-R) | The MTWS-R features two separate measures for examining the severity of nicotine withdrawal symptoms in a participant: a self-report scale and an observer scale. The observer scale asks the scale-taker to rate the severity of four symptoms in someone the they know who is experiencing nicotine withdrawal: "angry/irritable/frustrated," "anxious/tense," "depressed," and "restless/impatient." The self-report version asks for rankings of the severity of those same four symptoms, plus eleven others that cannot be observed by outsiders (including such things as "desire or craving to smoke," "insomnia, sleep problems, awakening at night," or "dizziness). Both scales use a Likert-type scale for the severity ratings, ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("severe"). These scores are tallied to calculate an a total withdrawal discomfort score and will be compared between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month | |
Primary | Change in Mean score on the Questionnaire on Smoking Urges (QSU-Brief) | The QSU-Brief consists of 10 statements about the respondent's feelings and thoughts about the participants desire to smoke cigarettes as the participant is completing the questionnaire (i.e., right now). Each response is scored a number ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree) and total scores are calculated by summing the item scores to compare craving between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month | |
Secondary | Mean acrolein levels within participants | Urine excretion of mercapturic acid metabolites of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with a particular focus on acrolein will be measured and compared between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month | |
Secondary | Mean propylene oxide levels within participants | Urine excretion of mercapturic acid metabolites of VOCs, with a particular focus on propylene oxide will be measured and compared between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month | |
Secondary | Median benzene levels within participants | Urine excretion of mercapturic acid metabolites of VOCs, with a particular focus on benzene will be measured and compared between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month | |
Secondary | Mean heart rate within participants | The cardiovascular effects of e-cigarette use as measured by heart rate will be compared between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month | |
Secondary | Mean blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) within participants | The cardiovascular effects of e-cigarette use as measured by blood pressure will be compared between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month | |
Secondary | Mean plasma epinephrine within participants | The cardiovascular effects of e-cigarette use as measured by plasma epinephrine will be compared between SREC and EC use | Up to 1 month |
