Faculty note: Assistant Prof. Hillhouse and his students publish article on addictive properties of vaping
Assistant Prof. Todd M. Hillhouse (Psychology) and students published an article in the Journal of American College Health that found vaping low doses of nicotine (3 mg/ml or 0.3%) have similar addictive properties as high dose nicotine (18-30 mg/ml or 1.8-3%). Additionally, they reported that the ECIG flavors enhance the rewarding properties of vaping, which likely contribute to the continued use of ECIGs. You can download the article for free.
