Tobacco Regulations for Smoking
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this project is to learn about the potential impact of tobacco regulations that could affect the availability of tobacco products among adults who smoke nondaily and daily. Nondaily smoking is increasingly common and tobacco regulation research should consider how FDA actions may impact this group. Participants will be asked to complete online surveys and tests, online shopping sessions in a simulated Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Reactions and decisions of adults who smoke nondaily and daily will be compared.
