Brief summary
A Study to Characterize Puff Topography with Use of a JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) in Adult Smokers
Detailed description
This will be an open label study to evaluate puff topography in adult smokers using a JUUL 5% ENDS. Up to 30 subjects will be enrolled and evaluated on Day 1 and Day 15. The duration of the study is 15 days with up to a 28 days screening window.
Interventions
OTHERJUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, ENDS product
Subjects 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 CPD throughout the 15 day product use period.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Duration | 15 days | To characterize overall puff duration |
| Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Volume | 15 days | To characterize overall puff volume |
| Puff Topography Parameter - Peak Puff Flow Rate | 15 days | To characterize overall peak puff flow rate |
| Puff Topography Parameter - Average Puff Flow Rate | 15 days | To characterize overall average puff flow |
| Puff Topography Parameter - Inter-Puff Interval | 15 days | To characterize overall inter-puff interval (time between puffs) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subject measure of affect | 15 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 period | 15 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 nicotine withdrawal | 15 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 product liking | 15 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. |
| Subjective measure of cigarette dependence | 15 days | Assessment of cigarette dependence with Fagerstrom Test for Cigarette Dependence Questionnaire (FTCD). Questionnaire consists of 6 questions. |
| Subjective measure of smoking urges | 15 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 nicotine | 15 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. |
