February 7, 2024 updated by: Johns Hopkins University
The goal of this project is to experimentally evaluate how expectations about reduced-nicotine cigarettes as well as actual nicotine content interact to determine behavioral and subjective response for these novel products.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Demand Intensity
Time Frame: Four times over approximately two weeks
|
Consumption of cigarettes at unconstrained price as measured by an incentivized demand task.
Minimum value is 0, maximum value is not constrained.
Higher scores indicate more cigarette consumption at unconstrained price (a worse outcome).
|
Four times over approximately two weeks
|
Demand Elasticity
Time Frame: Four times over approximately two weeks
|
Changes in cigarette consumption with changes in price as measured by an incentivized demand task.
There is no minimum or maximum value.
Higher scores indicate greater cigarette price sensitivity (a better outcome).
Values are log-transformed.
Data are presented for all subjects with non-zero data (zero data cannot be analyzed with a demand function so elasticity cannot be generated)
|
Four times over approximately two weeks
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale
Time Frame: Post-cigarette administration four times over approximately two weeks
|
A subjective effect measure of nicotine withdrawal.
Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 68.
Higher scores indicate greater nicotine withdrawal (a worse outcome).
|
Post-cigarette administration four times over approximately two weeks
