Study Summary

This trial is looking at whether smokers believe that cigarettes with the "natural" or "organic" descriptors are less harmful than cigarettes without these descriptors, and if these beliefs are associated with changes in smoking behavior or biological exposures.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult daily smokers who've been smoking non-menthol, filtered cigarettes for at least the past 6 months and have smoked over 100 in their lifetime. Participants must smoke either Natural American Spirit (NAS) or a different brand regularly. Pregnant women, those planning pregnancy, or with serious diseases like heart disease or cancer in the last 6 months cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how 'natural' and 'organic' labels on cigarette advertising influence smokers' health risk expectations and actual smoking behavior. It involves comparing subjective effects, smoking topography, and biological exposure under four ad conditions: own brand, 'natural', 'organic', and 'conventional'.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves regular smoking behavior rather than a new intervention, there are no additional side effects beyond those already associated with cigarette smoking such as increased risk of lung disease, heart problems, and various cancers.
