The goal of this project is to look at the effect of proposed tobacco product regulations in Appalachian Kentucky. Appalachian Kentucky is a diverse and underserved rural area that would benefit from more tobacco regulation research. Researchers will study the effects of three proposed tobacco product regulations among users of tobacco products in Appalachian KY. Researchers will also study how degree of rurality effects how those regulations impact behavior. Participants will be asked to complete online surveys and tests, online shopping sessions in a simulated Experimental Tobacco Marketplace, and track their tobacco product use throughout the 4-week experiment.
After granting informed consent, participants will complete a baseline assessment session. This will be followed by an extended 4-week sampling period to acclimate participants to their randomly assigned experimental cigarette and allow any shifts in product consumption patterns to materialize. In the final week of this sampling period, participants will complete behavioral assessments and a series of assessments to assess the impact of potential regulatory environments relevant to our aims. Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. In this procedure, participants will complete purchasing scenarios i…
Inclusion Criteria: * At least 21 years old * Consume nicotine and/or tobacco products daily * Have no plans to quit nicotine/tobacco consumption or seek treatment in the subsequent 9 weeks * Read and understand English Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will be assigned to one of two investigational cigarette nicotine levels for the duration of the experiment: 0.4mg/g or 15.8mg/g
In this regulatory environment, participants' usual combustible cigarette will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace and only the participants' assigned investigational cigarette will be the only available combustible cigarette.
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Only tobacco or no flavored combustible nicotine products will be the only combustible nicotine products available.
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Only tobacco or no flavored noncombustible nicotine products will be the only noncombustible nicotine products available.
