Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to examine the impact of repeated exposure to cigarillo warnings on cigarillo users' intentions and behaviors for cigarillo smoking. Eligible participants will be randomized to one of three experimental conditions that will vary based on cigarillo warning format.
For 4 weeks, participants will participate in an image-sorting task where they will be asked to sort a set of ~18 cigarillo packages into flavor categories determined a priori by the research team (e.g., Mint, Fruit, Dessert).
At the end of the study, participants will be notified of the purpose of the study and provided links to resources with information about the harms of cigarillo smoking and cessation.
The study will be conducted in an online survey, working with Qualtrics research company, who will program the survey, recruit and screen participants, and administer the survey.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Intention to quit smoking cigarillos in the next 30 days at weeks 2-4
Time Frame: Weeks 2-4
Assessed by the score for 4 survey items: how interested participants are in quitting cigarillo smoking in the next 30 days; how likely they are to quit smoking cigarillos in the next 30 days; how much they plan to quit smoking cigarillos in the next 30 days; and how successful they think they would be if they tried to quit smoking cigarillos in the next 30 days. Each survey item has a 5-pt response scale (1=Not at all to 5= Extremely).Three of the four items will be averaged. Higher scores are associated with a greater intention to quit.
