About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the role of flavored on!® nicotine pouch products (the research products), an oral tobacco-leaf-free product, in the replacement of cigarettes with the use of the research products among adults who smoke cigarettes. The main question it aims to answer is whether flavored (vs. non-flavored) research products generate greater reduction of cigarette smoking among adults who smoke cigarettes.
Participants will be provided with research products to use for 6 weeks. Researchers will compare the reduction in cigarette smoking between participants with access to a complete flavor profile of research products and participants with access to only the Original (non-flavored) variety of research product to see if reduction in cigarette smoking is greater among those with access to flavored research products.
