Abstract
Attentional bias (AB) has been identified as a cognitive mechanism underlying cigarette use. Recent studies suggest that attentional fluctuation between vigilance and avoidance is an important cognitive deficit related to various psychopathologies. This study aimed to examine the role of AB in cigarette and Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) use in young adults. Results indicated that ENDS users showed greater temporal attentional fluctuation towards ENDS stimuli compared to cigarette users and non-smokers. Attentional fluctuation predicted the ENDS use status. Attentional fluctuation may be a potential risk factor associated with ENDS use among this population.
