First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how cigarette smokers use heated tobacco devices (glo and glo plus) at home for five days. About 200 participants in the UK will use the devices and report their puffing patterns through built-in sensors and daily surveys. The goal is to measure puff count, volume, duration, and how often people use the devices, helping researchers understand real-world usage behavior.

What this could lead to
