Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Extracted dose of nicotine from each portion is measured by using GC-MS analysis and calculated by subtracting the residual amount after use from the mean of 10 unused portions. Used portions are freezed after dosing and analysis using GC-MS is performed at the end of the trial.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. The extracted dose of flavor components are measured using GC-MS analysis and calculated by subtracting the residual amount after use from the mean of 10 unused portions. Used portions are freezed after dosing and analysis using GC-MS is performed at the end of the study<br>2. Self-report of potential adverse events (AEs, frequency, intensity and seriousness) measured throughout the study
