Consumers in India and the United Arab Emirates live in very different economic and cultural environments, and this study set out to measure how that shapes the way they shop and pay.

The results offer practical insight for retailers, marketers, and policymakers working across these two fast-growing but culturally distinct markets.

Recently, e-cigarette usage has been increasing rapidly. Previous research has found that adverse
childhood experiences (ACEs) are correlated to cigarette usage. However, there is limited data exploring if ACEs affect vaping. Therefore, in this work, we investigated the effects of ACEs on e-cigarette usage and hypothesize that witnessing vaping in the house and facing ACEs would increase e-cigarette usage while education on the dangers of vaping would decrease e-cigarette usage. We found that different types of ACEs had different correlations with e-cigarette usage and that education on the dangers of vaping had no effect on e-cigarette usage.
