Official title
Mindful Breaths: A Pilot Randomized Trial on Mindfulness for Young Adult Vaping
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) as a vaping cessation intervention in young adults aged 18-29 who vape nicotine at least 25 days per month and are interested in cutting down or quitting. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can mindfulness practice reduce nicotine cravings in young adults? * Is mindfulness practice an acceptable and feasible intervention for vaping cessation in this population? Researchers will compare participants in the mindfulness intervention group to a control group that watches a video with calming music and images to see if mindfulness practice has a greater effect on reducing nicotine cravings. Participants will: * Complete a baseline survey and craving cue reactivity assessment. * Engage in a 10-minute guided mindfulness meditation (intervention group) or view calming music and images (control group). * Rate their cravings and the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the intervention after the session.
Interventions
- Behavioral Guided mindfulness meditation
Watching a video of a guided mindfulness meditation include paying attention to the breath, promoting natural breathing without force; body scan, directing awareness from the head down to the toes, allowing tension to release in each area. The intervention emphasizes observing sensations without judgment, fostering a state of relaxed awareness. - Behavioral Scenery video
Watching a ten-minute video of calming music and images
