First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study in the UK observed 212 cigarette smokers to see how they use heated tobacco products. Participants puffed on devices in a lab setting, and a smaller group used the products at home for 5 days. The goal was to measure puffing patterns and daily consumption, not to test health effects.
