Summary

This trial will adapt 12 waterpipe health warning labels (HWLs) for young adults in Florida, test their performance in a clinical lab experiment, and advocate for the adoption of WP-HWL policies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 21-35 in Florida who are either new to waterpipe (WP) smoking or smoke at least once a week. Participants must be generally healthy, not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have chronic diseases. They should abstain from WP for 12 hours before lab sessions and agree to attend all study visits.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of health warning labels (HWLs) on waterpipes compared to no label. It aims to see if HWLs change smokers' views on harm and intentions to quit by measuring their responses and exposure levels to toxins like carbon monoxide and nicotine.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions with health warning labels rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects associated with the interventions being tested.
