Study Summary
This trial will help to understand if menthol flavored e-cigarettes can help people quit smoking menthol cigarettes, in the context of a ban on menthol cigarettes.
Who is the study for?

People seeking smoking cessation treatment or with serious medical/psychiatric conditions or drug use can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is examining the effects of a menthol ban in cigarettes on smokers' behavior by comparing two scenarios: one where only menthol cigarettes are banned, and another where all menthol tobacco products are banned. It aims to see if this influences people to switch to e-cigarettes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves policy intervention rather than medication, there aren't direct side effects like those associated with drugs. However, participants may experience changes in their smoking habits or cravings.
