Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), including but not limited to e-cigarettes, e-pens, e-cigars, e-hookah, vape pens, personal vaporizers, and electronic pipes, have been regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since 2016 and more research that could inform marketing regulations would be useful. Flavors are an important characteristic of ENDS. ENDS use a liquid (“e-liquid” or “e-juice”) that can come in a diverse range of flavors, including tobacco flavor, menthol, mint, fruit flavors, dessert flavors (e.g., crème brulee, funnel cake), spices (e.g., cinnamon, vanilla), alcohol (e.g., strawberry daiquiri, bourbon, Irish crème), candy (e.g., gummi bears, cotton candy), and other flavors. Both youth and adult ENDS users commonly report that flavors are a main reason why they use ENDS. The objectives of the proposed project are to examine how different features used to advertise ENDS flavors are associated with (a) product appeal and (b) intentions to use the product among youth (aged 13-17 years) and young adults (aged 18-24 years). The proposed project will accomplish these objectives by obtaining product perceptions and use intentions in response to different advertising tactics, such as using flavor-related images or adding flavor descriptors or modifiers to flavor names. In an online survey experiment, youth and young adult study participants will view different ENDS ads with and without key features (flavor-related images; flavor descriptors, such as “cool” and “fresh”; flavor name modifiers, such as cherry crush). This project employs a mixed experimental design in which participants will view ENDS ads with key features and modifiers present or absent. This approach will provide evidence as to how specific advertising features used to convey ENDS flavors affect product perceptions and intentions to use ENDS.
