Official title
Effects of Heated Tobacco Product Flavor on Tobacco Use Behavior and Abuse Liability Among Menthol Cigarette Smokers
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This project examines the influence of flavor availability on switching to an MRTP known as IQOS, part of the Heated Tobacco Product (HTP) class, among menthol smokers using clinical lab and naturalistic evaluations of abuse liability. Results will help federal regulators predict the public health impact on menthol cigarette smokers of policies restricting access to menthol-flavored HTPs.
