Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is to examine if inhaled doses of menthol that produce low and high cooling effects change the appeal of e-cigarettes containing low and high doses of nicotine in adolescent smokers. The hypothesis is that the combination of nicotine and menthol, when compared with menthol or nicotine alone, will result in greater increase in liking of an e-cigarette and greater reduction in nicotine withdrawal.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tobacco Flavor

In this arm, subjects will receive tobacco flavor- without nicotine (placebo). Participants will then be exposed to 3 levels of a menthol additive in random order: no dose, low dose and high dose.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Low Dose Menthol

Intervention Type OTHER

A low dose of menthol will be added to the tobacco flavor.

High Dose Menthol

Intervention Type OTHER

A high dose of menthol will be added to the tobacco flavor.

Low Dose Nicotine

In this arm, subjects will receive a low dose of nicotine (6 mg/ml) added to the tobacco flavor. Participants will then be exposed to 3 levels of a menthol additive in random order: no dose, low dose and high dose.
