Summary

This study looks at how a rule requiring very low nicotine in cigarettes, along with changes in prices for e-cigarettes and illegal cigarettes, might change what smokers buy. About 70 adults who smoke regularly will use a virtual store to see how they spend their money. The goal is to understand if these measures push people toward illegal products or other options like e-cigarettes.
