Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a randomised cross-over, open-label, confinement study conducted in 24 male or female snus and cigarette consumers. The study investigates 5 different nicotine containing products in a cross-over fashion. The study incorporates pharmacokinetics evaluation, nicotine extraction evaluation, subjective questionnaire assessments as well as safety evaluation.
During the study participation, subjects come for two visits to the clinic, including a 5-day confinement period.
