E-cigarettes deliver a nicotine-containing aerosol popularly called vapor to users by heating a solution commonly consisting of glycerin nicotine and flavoring agents.
E-liquids are flavored including tobacco menthol coffee candy fruit and alcohol flavorings.

Water parsley (Oenanthe sarmentosa) is a native plant that grows in wet areas along the west coast of North america.
Field experiments in two California State Parks in Santa cruz County showed that marsh sandwort does well in areas dominated by water parsley.
This information provided guidance for larger-scale reintroduction experiments in the Golden Gate National recreation area (GGNRA) in Marin county. We think water parsley might be a good indicator of moisture

They used a protocol similar to the one in Pavlov's dog experiments (where a dog is conditioned to associate a bell with being fed) using vanilla (the locusts'favourite) and lemon odours.
But in this case the locusts were taught to link a vanilla odour with unpalatable nicotine food (so with a negative/aversive stimulus) or instead lemon with a nutritious diet (positive stimulus).
) Since locusts prefer the smell of vanilla to lemon if after training they chose lemon the conditioning had been successful.
--while solitarious and gregarious locusts had no problem gaining negative memories (so being conditioned to link vanilla to the unpalatable diet)
To start the animals were taught to associate vanilla with hyoscyamine but this time while solitarious locusts learned to avoid vanilla--so gained the negative memory--neither transiens nor gregarious locusts could do it.
In fact to these two forms hyoscyamine seemed to even be neutral or appetitive. While this was clearly advantageous
To test for this possibility the researchers used a slightly different protocol--solitarious locusts were trained to associate hyoscyamine not with a vanilla but with the lemon odour.
since locusts normally chose vanilla they will only go for lemon if hyoscyamine has a strong appetitive value.
Remarkably now the majority of transiens locusts (so those that have been crowded) chose lemon over vanilla in comparison with only one third of solitarious non-crowded locusts showing that they in fact see hyoscyamine as appetitive.
