Participant Flow

Study initiated (first subject screened): 01 August 2013 At admission (Day -1), all the subjects performed a product trial (Tobacco Sticks and subsequently NRT gum). From enrollment, they were asked to remain abstinent from smoking for at least 24 hours (Day 0) before being randomized on Day 1 into 1 of the 4 sequences.

Enrolled population = 73 subjects: 11 exposed to mTHS and NRT at Admission but not randomized and 62 randomized as described below: * Sequence "mTHS then mCC": 22 subjects * Sequence "mCC then mTHS": 22 subjects * Sequence "mTHS then NRT": 9 subjects * Sequence "NRT then mTHS": 9 subjects

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Blood taken 15 minutes prior to T0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 24 hours after T0

Population: PK populations consisted of all the randomized subjects who completed at least 1 of the single use days (Days 1 or 3), and for whom at least 1 PK parameter could be derived. Subjects with major protocol deviations that impacted the evaluability of the results were excluded from the PK populations.

T0 = start of single product use. Derived from multiple blood sampling on Day 1 and Day 3 (1 blood sampling pre-product use and multiple blood sampling over 24 hours post-product use). Geometric Least Squares means are provided.
