Participant Flow

31 subjects were enrolled in the study, which was conducted at a clinical trial facility managed by a contract research organization.

Of the 31 enrolled subjects who performed a product test, 24 were randomized to product use. Seven of the 31 enrolled subjects were not randomized because only 24 subjects were required for the study.

To measure cigarette craving by the visual analog scale (VAS)-craving assessment in healthy smokers following a 30 minutes product use period of 4 variants of Nicotine pouch 1.0 compared to Velo-NP and Zyn-NP. Craving was assessed at selected time points on a scale from "no craving" (0 mm) to "strong craving" (100 mm) by measuring the number of millimeters (0-100 mm) from the "no craving" point to the point at which the drawn line intersected the scale.

To measure "in the moment" product liking by the VAS-liking assessment in healthy smokers following a 30 minutes product use period of 4 variants of Nicotine pouch 1.0 compared to Velo-NP and Zyn-NP. Product liking was assessed at selected time points on a scale from "strong disliking" (0 mm) to "strong liking" (100 mm) by measuring the number of millimeters (0-100 mm) from the "strong disliking" point to the point at which the drawn line intersected the scale.

To measure overall product liking by the VAS-liking assessment in healthy smokers following a 30 minutes product use period of 4 variants of Nicotine pouch 1.0 compared to Velo-NP and Zyn-NP. Overall product liking was assessed at selected time points on a scale from "strong disliking" (0 mm) to "strong liking" (100 mm) by measuring the number of millimeters (0-100 mm) from the "strong disliking" point to the point at which the drawn line intersected the scale.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured on day 1 (morning/afternoon), day 2 (morning/afternoon), and day 3 (morning/afternoon)

To measure product satisfaction by the VAS-satisfaction assessment in healthy smokers following a 30 minutes product use period of 4 variants of Nicotine pouch 1.0 compared to Velo-NP and Zyn-NP. Product satisfaction was was assessed at selected time points on a scale from "not at all" (0 mm) to "extremely" (100 mm) by measuring the number of millimeters (0-100 mm) from the "not at all" point to the point at which the drawn line intersected the scale.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured on day 1 (morning/afternoon), day 2 (morning/afternoon), and day 3 (morning/afternoon)

To measure intention to use product again by the VAS-intention to use again assessment in healthy smokers following a 30 minutes product use period of 4 variants of Nicotine pouch 1.0 compared to Velo-NP and Zyn-NP. Intention to use again was was assessed at selected time points on a scale from "very unlikely" (0 mm) to "very likely" (100 mm) by measuring the number of millimeters (0-100 mm) from the "very unlikely" point to the point at which the drawn line intersected the scale.
