Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to shed light on the importance of nicotine pharmacokinetics in switching to a reduced-harm product by fully matching the nicotine pharmacokinetics of smokers' usual brands of cigarettes.

The primary objective is to ascertain the degree of smoking reduction when smokers attempt to switch to an e-cigarette that matches peak nicotine concentrations of a cigarette.
