PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Data was acquired during a single test session during week 3 of drug intervention.

Population: The number of participants analyzed per arm for this outcome is different than participant flow data because not every participant completed the smoking choice session.

After overnight abstinence, participants will receive 10 tokens at the beginning of the smoking choice session. These tokens can be exchanged for money (0.75$ / token) or 2 cigarette puffs. The session starts with sample smoking of 2 puffs that allows subjective responses to me measured after abstinence. 15 min later, participants make their first choice, followed by 9 additional choices, every 15 minutes.
