Interventions

  • Reduced nicotine regulatory environment — BEHAVIORAL
    In this regulatory environment, participants' usual combustible cigarette will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace and reduced nicotine content cigarettes will be the only available combustible cigarette.
  • Restriction on characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products — BEHAVIORAL
    In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Tobacco- or no-flavored combustible nicotine products will be the only combustible nicotine products available.
  • Restriction on characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products — BEHAVIORAL
    In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Tobacco- or no-flavored noncombustible nicotine products will be the only noncombustible nicotine products available.

Study Details

The goal of this project is to learn about the potential impact of tobacco regulations that could affect the availability of tobacco products among adults who smoke nondaily and daily. Nondaily smoking is increasingly common and tobacco regulation research should consider how FDA actions may impact this group. Participants will be asked to complete online surveys and tests, online shopping sessions in a simulated Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Reactions and decisions of adults who smoke nondaily and daily will be compared.
