E-CIGARETTE SECTION
The next questions are about electronic cigarettes, often called e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes look like
regular cigarettes, but are battery-powered and produce vapor instead of smoke. There are many
types of e-cigarettes. Some common brands include NJOY, Blu and Smoking Everywhere.
E-cigarettes can be bought as one-time, disposable products, or can be bought as re-usable kits with a
cartridge. Some people refill their own cartridges with nicotine fluid, sometimes called “e-juice” or “eliquid”. Disposable e-cigarettes, e-cigarette cartridges and e-liquid come in many different flavors and
nicotine concentrations.

SMOKELESS TOBACCO SECTION
[SMLTOB]
The next questions ask about smokeless tobacco which you put in your mouth. Frequently you chew,
suck or spit while using smokeless tobacco, although there is no need to do so for some types. Snus,
for instance, is a type of smokeless tobacco that comes in a small pouch that you put inside your lip.
There are many kinds of smokeless tobacco, such as snus pouches, loose snus, moist snuff, dip, spit,
and chewing tobacco. Common brands include Redman, Levi Garrett, Beechnut, Skoal, Grizzly,
Nordic Ice and Copenhagen.
