Impact of Exclusive Use of Low Nicotine Cigarettes on Compensatory Smoking

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking

In brief

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. An FDA-mandated reduction in the nicotine content of cigarettes might reduce the health burden of tobacco by reducing the prevalence of smoking. The proposed project will test the impact of nicotine reduction on smoking behavior and smoke exposure in a setting where participants are restricted from using their usual brand cigarettes.
