4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Use of oral nicotine pouch - 8 mgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
On four separate occasions, participants will come to the research center and be asked to use a nicotine pouch or smokeless tobacco provided by the study team two separate times. The nicotine pouches or smokeless tobacco contain different amounts of nicotine. Participants will not know the concentration of nicotine in the nicotine pouch, but they will know the concentration and brand of the smokeless tobacco (it will be their usual brand). All participants will complete all four study conditions. Sessions will be ordered by Latin-square. Participants will not be assigned to arms based on session order and session order will not be recorded as it is not relevant to the study outcomes.
Group II: Use of oral nicotine pouch - 4 mgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
On four separate occasions, participants will come to the research center and be asked to use a nicotine pouch or smokeless tobacco provided by the study team two separate times. The nicotine pouches or smokeless tobacco contain different amounts of nicotine. Participants will not know the concentration of nicotine in the nicotine pouch, but they will know the concentration and brand of the smokeless tobacco (it will be their usual brand). All participants will complete all four study conditions. Sessions will be ordered by Latin-square. Participants will not be assigned to arms based on session order and session order will not be recorded as it is not relevant to the study outcomes.
