Addictive Potential of Little Cigars/Cigarillos in Dual Users: Effect by Flavor and Gender
This study is about whether or not little cigars and cigarillos cause or maintain addiction,
and if flavors, such as fruit, make them more addictive. The purpose of this study is to
understand the addiction potential of little cigars and cigarillos compared to cigarettes in
young adults who smoke both products. This study will also look at the differences between
men and women. In the rest of this form, little cigars or cigarillos will be referred to as
LCCs.
