Protocol
The next questions are about electronic nicotine products. Some electronic nicotine products can be bought as one-time, disposable products, while others can be bought as re-usable kits with a pod, cartridge, or tank system. Some people refill their own electronic nicotine products with nicotine fluid, sometimes called “e-liquid” or “e-juice”.
Disposable products, pods, cartridges, and e-liquid come in many different flavors and nicotine concentrations. Some common brands include JUUL, Vuse, Blu, NJOY, eGo, Suorin, Bo, Smok, Phix, and Puff, but there are many others.

Selection Rationale
The protocol from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study was selected because this study is the most comprehensive study on tobacco use in the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States. The PATH Study is a longitudinal cohort study that includes tobacco product specific use questions and is administered to individuals aged 12 years and older. PATH Wave 7 was selected because it is the most up-to-date version of the PATH Study questionnaire that assesses multiple electronic nicotine delivery systems.
