Vaping, or the use of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), has grown rapidly worldwide and is becoming in a youth epidemic in many countries. Invented as a method to help to quit smoking, ENDS are very popular reaching increasing numbers of users and becoming a health concern. Virtual Reality Technology (VRT) represents an important tool for conducting addiction-associated interventions, including telemedicine. The design and quality of Virtual Reality Scenarios (VRS) used for VR interventions are fundamental. How well VRS can replicate real-world scenarios has an impact on how realistic the VR immersions experiences are. Thus, VRS development influences therapeutic outcomes. VRT is used for interventions and treatments for smoking-related nicotine addiction but has yet to be validated for vaping related disorders. Since vaping represents a technological step forward in nicotine consumption, the accurate contextualisation of environments surrounding vapers is fundamental for developing advanced VR tools towards prevention and treatment of vaping disorders. Here we present the results of focus groups discussion with young vapers in New Zealand. The knowledge gained from this study will be used to design VRS for cue exposure and reactivity as a first step towards developing effective solutions for vaping disorders using VR interventions and telemedicine.
