Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Impact of ZYN Nicotine Pouch Products on Cigarette Usage and BoExp in Adult Smokers Over a 12-week Period

August 21, 2024 updated by: Swedish Match AB

A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Impact of ZYN Nicotine Pouch Products on Cigarette Usage and Biomarkers of Exposure in Adult Smokers Over a 12-week Period

To verify whether unrestricted access to flavored products is likely to lead to greater reductions in combustible cigarette smoking and decreased exposure to smoking related toxicants.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

US adult smokers will be randomized into three groups (Group I: (control) continue smoking their usual brand of CC; Group II: provided with tobacco flavor and unflavored options of ZYN; Group III: provide with unrestricted flavor options of ZYN) to evaluate the impact of availability of different ZYN products on cigarette usage patterns and biomarkers of exposure over a 12-week study period, followed by an 6-week extension for some participants.
