NCT03063034

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate exposure to "tar" and nicotine from two menthol cigarette products and provide a basis for comparing mouth-level exposure when smokers smoke the two cigarette products. Mouth-level exposure is the measurement of substance trapped in the cigarette butt after smoking the cigarette. Other purposes of this study are to:

  • Compare the plasma cotinine, a byproduct of your body's processing of nicotine, levels found in users after smoking each of two different cigarettes.
  • Find out the daily mouth-level exposure to cigarette "tar" and nicotine from smoking each of two different cigarettes in adult smokers.
  • Determine if certain measures of nicotine dependence change based on the type of cigarette smoked
  • To compare product liking and intent to use it again.
