About the study

This multi-method project will recruit young adults who currently use cigarillos and examine the effects of different flavored cigarillo types (concept, characterizing, tobacco) on three measures of tobacco product appeal: subjective effects (e.g., taste, enjoyment, satisfaction, reward), actual smoking behavior (e.g., number of puffs), and tobacco product purchases via a simulated experimental tobacco marketplace.
