Interventions
Labels with e-cigarette health warning that include text about health harms of vaping will be applied to participants' vaping devices and refills. At Visit 1, devices and refills will be labeled with 2 warnings based on their assigned trial arm; at Visit 3, they will get 2 additional warnings based on their assigned trial arm. The order of the 4 labels within this trial arm will be randomized using a Latin square design. Study investigators developed the text and design of these labels.
Labels with e-cigarette health warning that include the same text about health harms of vaping and corresponding pictorial images will be applied to participants' vaping devices and refills. At Visit 1, devices and refills will be labeled with 2 warnings based on their assigned trial arm; at Visit 3, they will get 2 additional warnings based on their assigned trial arm. The order of the 4 labels within this trial arm will be randomized using a Latin square design. Study investigators developed the text and design of these labels.
Labels with neutral statements about vaping will be applied to participants' vaping devices and refills. At Visit 1, devices and refills will be labeled with 2 statements based on their assigned trial arm; at Visit 3, they will get 2 additional statements based on their assigned trial arm. The order of the 4 labels within this trial arm will be randomized using a Latin square design. Study investigators developed the text and design of these labels.
