Thank you for your willingness to participate, however, we are looking for survey respondents who fit a different profile.

I started vaping on 6 June so I was, I thought going to be eligible, however; I also got the "Thank you for your willingness to participate, however, we are looking for survey respondents who fit a different profile."

I have a very keen interest in this study however I have to wonder what the good doctor is looking for........

PS I'm a banker so I see deception everywhere I think its referred to as paranoia.

 

[Liscab]

I think that's for active smokers no for professional vapers

 

[DC2]

Okay, that was kind of weird... not sure what it had to do with smoking... but it should be interesting to find out!

I don't know, I answered the questions honestly (have not smoked for a long time now) and still made the grade.
Not sure what the criterion is, but it isn't about still smoking, because I said I do not still smoke.

[Spazmelda]

I answered that I hadn't smoked in over 6 months, and it still accepted me. Hmmm. Interesting.

I didn't know what to put for the question 'do you plan on quitting smoking in the next (can't remember- 2 weeks)?

I tried to leave it blank as there was no N/A. I ended up answering no, since I can't plan on quitting something I don't do.

 

[Spazmelda]

Liscab- I answered same as you except 40 years old.

maybe it is randomly

 

[Killjoy1]

They didn't want me, either

 

[Projectguy]

They probably figured you for a Dartmouth supporter

 

[Fiamma]

Accepted and given the first set of questions for the survey. More to follow in time, they said.

I'm 72 do not smoke any longer but vape and had all but one no answers in the screening questions. English is my first language.

 

[DC2]

Liscab- I answered same as you except 40 years old.

I also answered the same as Liscab except that I am 46 years old and English is my first language.

 

[kwalka]

I'm 36 white male, 6 months smoke free, accepted. After answering the questions and seeing the types of questions, it makes no sense as to why why some of you were rejected.

 

[Spazmelda]

I also answered the same as Liscab except that I am 46 years old and English is my first language.

Oh, I missed that in post. Yes, I put that English was my first language as well. I can't wait to see what this is about. LOL.

 

[Wabbeln]

Maybe they are getting to many people from the same age group. Could be the reason some are rejected and other are accepted.

Looks like I was accepted.

 

[Carla Damrath]

I got accepted, but now I'm depressed after taking the survey! I have a boring life! LOL!
