Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
First, investigators will collect information from participants on personal characteristics, substance use patterns and addiction severity, and behavioral and cognitive tasks that measure components of our behavioral economic model of product valuation.
Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. In this procedure, participants will complete purchasing scenarios in a realistic tobacco/nicotine product marketplace to model and examine the impact of each of the proposed tobacco product regulations. Participants will be seated in front of a computer to access a simulated online tobacco marketplace with an interface similar to many online merchants. This will allow participants to browse through the selection of tobacco products and add as many as they desire of each product to the virtual shopping cart. Each product will have the price clearly displayed along with an image and description of the product. The selection of products will vary based on the particular regulatory scenario that is being modeled. In each pricing scenario during each marketplace session, participants will be asked to make nicotine-product purchases sufficient for one week's use from this marketplace. During a purchasing session, the participant will be provided with a virtual budget that matches their actual weekly budget for nicotine/tobacco products, a procedure our team has shown to generate realistic results. Participants will use that virtual budget to indicate which selection of products they would purchase from those available in the marketplace.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Daily smoking
Participants who smoke cigarettes every day
Reduced nicotine regulatory environment
In this regulatory environment, participants' usual combustible cigarette will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace and reduced nicotine content cigarettes will be the only available combustible cigarette.
Restriction on characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Tobacco- or no-flavored combustible nicotine products will be the only combustible nicotine products available.
Restriction on characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Tobacco- or no-flavored noncombustible nicotine products will be the only noncombustible nicotine products available.
Nondaily smoking
Participants who smoke cigarettes some days but not every day in a month
Reduced nicotine regulatory environment
In this regulatory environment, participants' usual combustible cigarette will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace and reduced nicotine content cigarettes will be the only available combustible cigarette.
Restriction on characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Tobacco- or no-flavored combustible nicotine products will be the only combustible nicotine products available.
Restriction on characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Tobacco- or no-flavored noncombustible nicotine products will be the only noncombustible nicotine products available.
