Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will examine elements of abuse liability (AL) related to potential product adoption of three electronic tobacco vapor products by current smokers relative to high and low AL comparator products (usual brand cigarette and nicotine gum, respectively). Changes in subjective measures, speed and amount of nicotine uptake, and maximum changes in physiological effects during and after product use that follows a 12-hour (minimum) tobacco and nicotine abstinence period, will be determined. The electronic tobacco vapor products will not be compared to each other.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, crossover study, designed to evaluate subjective effects (i.e., Product Liking \[PL\], Overall Intent to Use Again \[OIUA\], Product Effects \[PE\], Urge to Smoke \[UTS\], and Overall Product Liking \[OPL\]), plasma nicotine uptake, and physiological measures (blood pressure and heart rate) during and following ad libitum use of the following five IPs by healthy subjects. Subjects will be evaluated in five separate Test Sessions and the active period of each Test Session will last for approximately 4 hours during and following IP use.
