Modeling Tobacco Regulatory Impacts in Appalachia Using the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace
Sponsor: Mikhail N Koffarnus
Summary
The goal of this project is to look at the effect of proposed tobacco product regulations in Appalachian Kentucky. Appalachian Kentucky is a diverse and underserved rural area that would benefit from more tobacco regulation research. Researchers will study the effects of three proposed tobacco product regulations among users of tobacco products in Appalachian KY. Researchers will also study how degree of rurality effects how those regulations impact behavior. Participants will be asked to complete online surveys and tests, online shopping sessions in a simulated Experimental Tobacco Marketplace, and track their tobacco product use throughout the 9-week experiment.

Conditions
Interventions
Very Low Nicotine Cigarette
Participants will be assigned to one of two investigational cigarette nicotine levels for the duration of the experiment: 0.4mg/g or 15.8mg/g
Reduced nicotine regulatory environment
In this regulatory environment, participants' usual combustible cigarette will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace and only the participants' assigned investigational cigarette will be the only available combustible cigarette.
Restriction on characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in combustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Only tobacco or no flavored combustible nicotine products will be the only combustible nicotine products available.
Restriction on characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products
In this regulatory environment, menthol and other characterizing flavors in noncombustible nicotine products will not be available in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace. Only tobacco or no flavored noncombustible nicotine products will be the only noncombustible nicotine products available.
