Participant Flow

Study initiated (first subject screened): 02 October 2013 At admission (Day -1), all the subjects performed a product trial (mTHS 2.2 and subsequently NNS). 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 = 64 subjects: 2 exposed to mTHS 2.2 and NNS at Admission but not randomized and 62 randomized as described below: * Sequence "mTHS 2.2 then mCC": 22 subjects * Sequence "mCC then mTHS 2.2": 22 subjects * Sequence "mTHS 2.2 then NNS": 9 subjects * Sequence "NNS then mTHS 2.2": 9 subjects

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 days

Population: Pharmacokinetics (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.

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 (geometric LS) means are provided.
