SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Within the 20-minute surveyPopulation: For Alpha, cases were removed for negative alphas values indicating poor/implausible fits. Cases were were also removed for negative curvature to the data (i.e., a mostly flat line), which does not allow alpha to be generated. Additional cases for each group were removed if alpha could not be calculated leading to the smaller numbers of participants analyzed in each group.
The rate of change for cigarillo demand is called Alpha, which is the rate constant of fitted Exponentiated Demand Equation. It is calculated with the Exponentiated Demand Equation, Q=Q0\*10\^k(e-αQ0C -1), where Q is the mg of nicotine purchased at a given price, Q0 is peak demand consumption or intensity (typically occurring at the lowest price), k is a constant across all compared conditions, and alpha (α) is the rate of change in demand or elasticity.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Within the 20-minute surveyThree survey items to measure emotional reactions (anxious, scared, disgusted) to the cigarillo warning the participant saw. Response options are on a 1 to 5 scale. Overall scale scores are determined by summing scores of the 4 items and dividing by 4 (range 1-5), with higher scores representing a higher amount of the construct.

Outcome data not reported
OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Within the 20-minute surveyThe 1 item measure assesses the extent to which a participant reports the warning making them think about the risks of cigarillo smoking. Response options are on a 1 to 5 scale, with higher scores representing a higher amount of the construct.

Outcome data not reported
OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Within the 20-minute surveyThree survey items to measure participant's interest in quitting cigarillo smoking in the next month, likelihood of quitting smoking cigarillos in the month week, and plans to quit smoking cigarillos in the next month. Response options are on a 1 to 5 scale. Overall scale scores are determined by summing the scores of the 3 items and dividing by 3 (range 1-5), with higher scores representing a higher amount of the construct/intentions to quit

Outcome data not reported
OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Within the 20-minute surveyone survey item asking participants if they noticed any health warnings on the cigarillo packages during their shopping tasks, with response options of Yes, No, and I'm not sure. Recall will be determine if participants select Yes.

Outcome data not reported
OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Within the 20-minute surveyOne survey item asking participants to identify which warning they saw during their mock shopping trips. Participants will be shown their warning, a warning that wasn't in their ETM, and "I don't know" response options. Selecting the correct warning indicates warning recognition.
