Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how well nicotine pouches and nicotine mini lozenges serve as substitutes for cigarettes when people try to switch from smoking to using these alternate nicotine products.
Participants will:
* Use nicotine pouches, nicotine mini lozenges, or no study product for a week and then try not to smoke for 3 weeks.
* Have 6 in-person research visits and 1 follow-up call
* Complete questionnaires at each study contact and use a smartphone app to record smoking and study product use
Detailed Description:
Researchers currently lack critical data needed to appraise the potential for nicotine pouches to benefit public health. Specifically, they do not know how readily smokers will adopt pouches, how effectively they can substitute for cigarettes when smokers are trying to avoid smoking, the role of nicotine dose in the ability of pouches to serve as a substitute, or the mechanisms that facilitate or hinder successful product transition. This study will address these questions using a 4-arm randomized controlled trial of adults who smoke ≥5 cigarettes daily and are not planning to quit smoking in the next 30 days. This study will provide a rigorous evaluation of the potential efficacy of a relatively modified risk new nicotine product as a substitute for combusted cigarettes. The head-to-head comparison with FDA-approved mini lozenges can inform tobacco regulatory policy decisions.
