Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Single arm design

On four separate occasions, participants will come to the research center and be asked to use a nicotine pouch or smokeless tobacco provided by the study team two separate times. The nicotine pouches or smokeless tobacco contain different amounts of nicotine. Participants will not know the concentration of nicotine in the nicotine pouch, but they will know the concentration and brand of the smokeless tobacco (it will be their usual brand). All participants will complete all four study conditions.
