Program Abstract:
Cigarette smoking has declined over the past half century. However, the tobacco product landscape has recently diversified to include a variety of electronic products, including e-cigarettes. In 2015, USB shaped e-cigarettes known as “Pod Mods”, including JUUL, entered the marketplace.
