Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) as a vaping cessation intervention in young adults aged 18-29 who vape nicotine at least 25 days per month and are interested in cutting down or quitting. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can mindfulness practice reduce nicotine cravings in young adults?
* Is mindfulness practice an acceptable and feasible intervention for vaping cessation in this population?

Researchers will compare participants in the mindfulness intervention group to a control group that watches a video with calming music and images to see if mindfulness practice has a greater effect on reducing nicotine cravings.

Participants will:

* Complete a baseline survey and craving cue reactivity assessment.
* Engage in a 10-minute guided mindfulness meditation (intervention group) or view calming music and images (control group).
* Rate their cravings and the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the intervention after the session.

Study Groups

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

Mindfulness

Intervention group participants will practice mindfulness following a ten-minute video of guided mindfulness meditation for craving and addiction.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Guided mindfulness meditation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Watching a video of a guided mindfulness meditation include paying attention to the breath, promoting natural breathing without force; body scan, directing awareness from the head down to the toes, allowing tension to release in each area. The intervention emphasizes observing sensations without judgment, fostering a state of relaxed awareness.

Scenery video

Control group participants will watch a ten-minute video of calming music and images.
