Evaluation of Low and High Nicotine Tobacco Free Nicotine Pouches (NCT06678789)
Evaluation of Low and High Nicotine Tobacco Free Nicotine Pouches as a Harm Reducing Substitute for Combustible Cigarettes - (Pack2Pouch)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Tobacco-free oral nicotine pouches (such as Zyn brand) are a less harmful alternative to cigarette smoking. Pouches, however, contain nicotine, and addictive substance that is not risk-free. The present study is evaluating how well nicotine pouches, at different nicotine levels, help people switch away from smoking cigarettes. People who smoke cigarettes will be asked to answer questions about their tobacco product use and provide breath samples and cheek swab samples at an in-person visit to MUSC Charleston. Participants will then be provided with a 28-day supply of nicotine pouches, and will be asked to switch from smoking to pouches over the course of 4 weeks. Finally, participants will complete a final visit at MUSC, and will answer more questions about their tobacco use 1-month later.
