‘It’s all the other stuff!’ How smokers understand (and misunderstand) chemicals in cigarettes and cigarette smoke
Many people understand chemicals as entities that do not occur naturally, and which are also invariably toxic.

To investigate smokers’ understandings of chemicals, we conducted qualitative research using 18 individual interviews and three …

The role of flavors in the decision to switch to or refrain from vaping is unclear. This study used a bottom-up approach to investigate the relation between flavor preferences and individual factors related to vaping between various user groups. A …
