Brief Summary

A Study to Characterize Puff Topography with Use of a JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) in Adult Smokers

JUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, ENDS productJUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, ENDS productSubjects participate in a 15 day product use period during which subjects will be requested to predominantly use the JUUL 5% product ad libitum as their primary source of nicotine. Subjects will be asked to report their daily use of the JUUL 5% product and combustibles per day (CPD) throughout the 15 day product use period.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Puff Topography Parameter - Average Puff Flow Rate15 days

To characterize overall average puff flow

Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Duration15 days

To characterize overall puff duration

Puff Topography Parameter - Peak Puff Flow Rate15 days

To characterize overall peak puff flow rate

Puff Topography Parameter - Inter-Puff Interval15 days

To characterize overall inter-puff interval (time between puffs)

Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Volume15 days

To characterize overall puff volume

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subjective measure of product liking15 days

To assess the relationship between puff topography parameters and JUUL 5% ENDs liking using a "Product Liking Questionnaire". Visual analogue scale with scale 0 (Not at all) to 100 (Extremely) in response to question "I like using the JUUL Product."

Subject measure of affect15 days

Assessment of affect using the "Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS)". Scale consists of a number of words that describe different feelings and emotions. Scale 1 (Very Slightly or Not at All), 2 (A Little), 3 (Moderately), 4 (Quite a Bit), 5 (Extremely).

Self-reported product use over 15-day period15 days

To assess the relationship between puff topography parameters and self-reported product use (number of puffs per day and number of JUULpods started each day) in a 15-day product use period.

Subjective measure of cigarette dependence15 days

Assessment of cigarette dependence with "Fagerstrom Test for Cigarette Dependence Questionnaire (FTCD)". Questionnaire consists of 6 questions.

Subjective measure of nicotine withdrawal15 days

Assessment of nicotine withdrawal using the "Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS-R)." Scale consists of 15 words/statements that describe different feelings. Scale 0 (None) to 4 (Severe).

Subjective measure of smoking urges15 days

Assessment of current smoking urge with "Questionnaire of Smoking Urges - Brief (QAU-B)". Responses to various statements with scale 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).

Subjective measure of effects of nicotine15 days

Assessment of nicotine using the "Direct Effects of Nicotine Scale." Visual analogue scale with scale 0 (Not at All) to 100 (Extremely) in response to words describing how the subject feels.
