About this trial

The goal of this study is to evaluate the rate of end of study complete cigarette reduction in health adult consumers of cigarettes when given access to a heated tobacco product (HTP). The primary study objective is to evaluate the impact of access to HTP Device 1 or HTP Device 2 and a single stick variant on the rate of final 7-day abstinence from smoking cigarettes among U.S. adult smokers at the end of a 3-month study period.
