Vape Use Among Younger & Older Smokers
United States100 participantsStarted 2025-09-05
Plain-language summary
The study aims to recruit 100 current cigarette smokers (50 young adults ages 21-34; 50 older adults ages 35-65) who have tried vaping or are currently vaping (dual users). The study will examine the trajectories in tobacco use (cigarettes and/or ENDS), including the nuanced differences in ENDS use (i.e., detailed device characteristics, user preferences, patterns of use), according to smoker age group.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study is observational and involves tracking my smoking and vaping habits through a mobile app and surveys — since it's not testing a treatment, what does participating actually involve day-to-day, and could it interfere with any quit plan or treatment you might recommend for me?
2The study is actively enrolling but no longer recruiting new participants — given that, is there any chance I could still be considered, or should we focus on other options for support with my smoking or vaping behaviors right now?
3Since this trial is measuring my beliefs, attitudes, and personal experiences around vaping rather than offering a therapy, would taking part in it complement or conflict with any behavioral or medical cessation treatments you think would be right for me?
4The study tracks both cigarette smoking and vaping behaviors — if I use both, is it worth discussing with you whether my specific pattern of use makes me a good candidate for this kind of research, or whether a treatment-focused trial might be more appropriate for my situation?
5Because this is a non-interventional study with no Phase designation, it won't directly offer me a new treatment — can you help me understand whether joining would give me any personal benefit, or whether I should prioritize clinically proven cessation programs alongside or instead of this?'

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
