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 an e-cigarette flavor, alone and in combination with menthol, changes the appeal of e-cigarettes containing low and high doses of nicotine. The hypothesis is that menthol and the other experimental flavor will interact with nicotine dose to improve taste and liking for e-cigarettes.
