Detailed Description
Sampling period (1 week): Subjects will be randomized to an alternative nicotine product (E-cigarette, Nicotine Gum or Lozenge) or assigned to continue smoking their usual brand cigarettes. Subjects will complete screening assessments, asked to sample the assigned product and start recording their cigarette or other tobacco intake on a daily basis using an interactive voice response system (IVR). Smokers assigned to the control condition (smoking usual brand cigarettes) will be asked to choose the product that they would like to sample.
Baseline smoking period: After sampling, subjects who meet specific criteria will continue with the experimental intervention phase. These subjects will be required to attend 2 baseline clinic visits where baseline assessments will be captured. Records of their cigarette or other tobacco intake on a daily basis will continue using the interactive voice response system (IVR).
Experimental Period: After the baseline assessment, subjects will be instructed to either partially or completely substitute their cigarette smoking with their assigned product. They will assigned to one of six experimental conditions:
- smoking usual brand cigarette controls, who after 8-weeks will be offered any of the other nicotine products to use as they choose for 8 weeks;
- complete substitution (i.e., no smoking) with an E-cigarette;
- partial substitution with an E-cigarette;
- complete substitution (i.e., no smoking) with nicotine gum or nicotine lozenge.
The assigned product, E-cigarette, Nic Gum or Lozenge, but not usual brand cigarettes, will be provided to subjects at the clinic visits. Subjects will attend clinic visits over the next 8 weeks where tobacco use patterns and biomarker data will be collected.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Compare total nicotine equivalents (TNE) based on differing instructions for oral tobacco, nicotine replacement or e-cigarette use.
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Compare the exposure to nicotine in the two instructions for use arms (complete substitution vs. partial substitution) across study products and compared to medicinal nicotine products and usual brand cigarettes.
|
6 months
|
Determine stabilization of product use (e.g., cigarette, oral tobacco, e-cigarette or medicinal nicotine patterns of use).
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Examining time effects for patterns of use of cigarettes, nicotine replacement, oral tobacco or e-cigarette.
|
6 months
|
Consumer perception of the product and response to the product after sampling.
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Consumer perception of the product evidenced by choice of which product to use in the trial after sampling.
|
6 months
|
Compare NNK exposure based on differing instructions for oral tobacco, nicotine replacement or e-cigarette use.
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
Complete substitution vs. partial substitution of study products for cigarettes and compare the exposure to NNK by analyzing NNAL levels in subject urine.
These products are compared to medicinal nicotine products and usual brand cigarettes.
