This nationwide telephone and mail- based research study will recruit 1,400 cigarette
smokers who are not motivated to quit to test the effects of a marketed oral,
non-combustible smokeless tobacco product on cigarette smoking behaviors. It will also track
the participants' usage patterns of the smokeless tobacco product.
Half of the participants will receive a new, potentially safer tobacco product during the
first six weeks of the study, and half will not. During this six-week period, each
participant will complete three brief phone interviews. After this first six week period,
participants will complete 6 other brief follow-up interviews, where they will answer
questionnaires about their smoking habits.
