Brief Summary

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

This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled, partially blinded study to assess the pharmacokinetics and comparative bioavailability of nicotine from two variants of NP2 (4 and 6 mg) in comparison with Loz-4mg and Gum-4mg in adult cigarette smokers. The subjects will be blinded to the randomized sequence and will be blinded to the variants of NP2 they will receive. The study will be conducted with 4 periods and 4 sequences in a Williams design (crossover).

Participants Investigators
This is a partially blinded study. The Investigator and subjects will be blinded to the randomized sequence and to the variants of the investigational product (IP). In contrast, the pharmacy staff will not be blinded to the randomized sequence and to the variants of the IP.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subject or one of their family members is a current or former employee of the tobacco industry.
* Subject or one of their family members a is an employee of the investigational site or of any other parties involved in the study.
* Subject has participated in another clinical study within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit or concomitantly participates in an investigational study involving no drug or device administration.
* Subject has been previously screened or enrolled in this study (except alternate subjects).
* For women only: subject is pregnant (does not have negative pregnancy tests at Screening Visit and at Admission) or is a lactating female.
