Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial studies the effects, appeal, and abuse liability of 6-methyl nicotine (metatine) electronic cigarettes among young adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the pharmacokinetics of metatine and nicotine electronic (e)-cigarettes.

II. Assess the abuse liability and appeal of commercial e-cigarettes containing metatine versus nicotine.

III. Determine the impact of metatine on e-cigarette puffing behavior (topography).

OUTLINE: Participants attend 3 sessions where they will be randomized to 1 of 3 types of e-cigarette. Participants will use the e-cigarette ad-libitum for 30 minutes and answer survey questions about their perceptions of the e-cigarette. Participants must also undergo 4 blood draws during the vaping session.
