Tobacco regulatory policies can have unanticipated consequences; therefore, methods that
would permit prospective estimates of the effects of potential tobacco regulations are
necessary for the development of tobacco regulatory science. The goal of this project is to
experimentally assess how smokers purchase and consume reduced-nicotine cigarettes. In
experiment 1, we will investigate how purchasing/consuming reduced-nicotine cigarettes is
related to nicotine content and absorption. In experiment 2, we will investigate how
purchasing/consuming changes when other nicotine products are available in an experimental
marketplace setting. The proposed projects can directly inform tobacco regulation by
providing estimates of the real-world effects of novel policies.
