Effects of electronic cigarette e-liquid flavouring on cigarette craving

This experimental study, conducted remotely, investigated the effects of vaping nicotine-containing flavoured e-liquid, compared with unflavoured e-liquid, on (a) general cigarette craving, and (b) cue-elicited cigarette craving in response to smoking-related cues, among abstinent daily smokers. Participants (n = 84) were randomised to use an e-cigarette with nicotine-containing fruit/sweet-flavoured e-liquid (blackcurrant, strawberry, vanilla, caramel) or unflavoured e-liquid, for one week.
