Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Condition IV cigarettes with blocking messageExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

Participants receive cigarettes with blocking message "This product has a ventilated filter. Be sure not to block the vent holes with your fingers or lips, which can increase the health risks of smoking" for 2 weeks. Participants attend 3 video sessions over 0.5 hour each at baseline, 1, and 2 weeks respectively for data collection

Group II: Condition III (cigarettes with compensation message)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions

Participants receive cigarettes with compensation message "This product has a ventilated filter. Filter vents increase how deeply a smoker inhales without them knowing, which can increase the health risks of smoking" on package for 2 weeks. Participants attend 3 video sessions over 0.5 hour each at baseline, 1, and 2 weeks respectively for data collection

Group III: Condition II (cigarettes with neutral message)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions

Participants receive cigarettes with neutral message "Nothing about this product's color or name means that it will protect a smoker from the health risks of smoking" on package for 2 weeks. Participants attend 3 video sessions over 0.5 hour each at baseline, 1, and 2 weeks respectively for data collection.

Group IV: Condition 1 (normal cigarettes)Active Control3 Interventions
