Vaping Cessation
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) as a vaping cessation intervention in young adults aged 18-29 who vape nicotine at least 25 days per month and are interested in cutting down or quitting. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can mindfulness practice reduce nicotine cravings in young adults? * Is mindfulness practice an acceptable and feasible intervention for vaping cessation in this population? Researchers will compare participants in the mindfulness intervention group to a control group that watches a video with calming music and images to see if mindfulness practice has a greater effect on reducing nicotine cravings. Participants will: * Complete a baseline survey and craving cue reactivity assessment. * Engage in a 10-minute guided mindfulness meditation (intervention group) or view calming music and images (control group). * Rate their cravings and the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the intervention after the session.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALGuided mindfulness meditation
Watching a video of a guided mindfulness meditation include paying attention to the breath, promoting natural breathing without force; body scan, directing awareness from the head down to the toes, allowing tension to release in each area. The intervention emphasizes observing sensations without judgment, fostering a state of relaxed awareness.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention appropriateness | Within ten minutes after the completion of a single 10-minute guided meditation session | Intervention appropriateness will be rated on a scale of 1-5, with a higher score indicating greater appropriateness. |
| Satisfaction | Within ten minutes after the completion of a single 10-minute guided meditation session | Satisfaction with the mindfulness intervention will be rated on a scale of 1-5, with a higher score indicating higher satisfaction. |
| Intervention appeal | Within ten minutes after the completion of a single 10-minute guided meditation session | Intervention appeal will be rated on a scale of 1-5, with a higher score indicating greater appeal. |
| Likelihood to continue mindfulness practice | Within ten minutes after the completion of a single 10-minute guided meditation session | The likelihood of continuing the mindfulness practice will be rated on a scale of 1-5, with a higher score indicating a higher likelihood of continuing the mindfulness practice. |
| Intervention feasibility | Within ten minutes after the completion of a single 10-minute guided meditation session | Intervention feasibility will be rated on a scale of 1-5, with a higher score indicating higher feasibility. |
| Perceived effectiveness | Within ten minutes after the completion of a single 10-minute guided meditation session | Perceived intervention effectiveness will be rated on a scale of 1-5, with a higher score indicating greater effectiveness. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Craving | Within 20 minutes before and after a ten minute guided mindfulness meditation practice. | Craving for e-cigarettes will be measured with the adapted Visual Analog Craving Scale before and after each cue and the intervention/control to assess their craving intensity. Participants rate craving intensity by selecting a position along a line anchored on the left by not at all and on the right by more than ever. |
