Official title
Evaluating the Potential Impact of a Menthol Ban in Cigarettes and E-cigarettes Among Current Menthol Smokers
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Menthol cigarette use remains a major public health problem and the FDA has proposed to ban menthol in cigarettes. However, additional evidence is needed to understand whether menthol flavor in e-cigarettes is important for harm reduction among menthol cigarette smokers in the context of a menthol cigarette ban. The primary aim of this project is to understand how the availability of menthol vs tobacco flavor e-cigarettes influences switching and reduces smoking behavior among adults who currently smoke menthol cigarettes to understand the potential effects in the context of a ban of menthol cigarettes.
