What do adult vapers prefer?
Meanwhile, a study aimed at understanding the impact of factors such as device type, flavours, nicotine levels and prices, on adult vapers’ choices among closed-system and open-system e-cigarettes, cigarettes and heated tobacco products (HTPs) indicated a preference for flavoured e-liquids.
The study titled, “Impact of flavours, device, nicotine levels and price on adult e-cigarette users’ tobacco and nicotine product choices,” consisted of choice experiments to assess the relative impact of several product characteristics to examine differences by smoking status and primarily used e-cigarette device and flavour.
The research team found that on average, participants preferred non-tobacco and non-menthol flavours, the majority preferred open-system over closed-system devices, and a regular nicotine level, over a lower nicotine level.
