Understanding Cigarillo Flavor Perceptions in Young Adults

This study is looking at how different cigarillo flavors (concept, characterizing, and tobacco) affect young adults who currently smoke cigarillos. Researchers want to understand how these flavors influence smoking behaviors, such as how many puffs are taken, and how appealing the cigarillos are, including taste, enjoyment, and satisfaction. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 34 years old, smoke cigarillos regularly, can read English well, and have no immediate plans to quit tobacco. The study will measure puff volume, subjective effects (how you feel about smoking), and exhaled carbon monoxide over 6 weeks. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures

  • Puff volumeFrom enrollment to the end of the study at 6 weeks

    Volume of inhaled cigarillo puffs

  • Subjective effects from smokingFrom enrollment to the end of the study at 6 weeks

    Self-reported reward from cigarillo smoking from a questionnaire. This scale has 5 questions with response options ranging from 1 - not at all to 7 - extremely. The score is averaged across the number of items. Higher ratings indicate greater psychological reward.

  • Exhaled carbon monoxideFrom enrollment to the end of the study at 6 weeks

    Changes in exhaled carbon monoxide (CO boot) following cigarillo smoking
