Summary

This study asked over 1,200 US adults who smoke cigarettes to view ads for smokeless tobacco products. Some ads included FDA-approved claims about lower health risks compared to smoking, while others did not. Researchers measured how the ads changed people's beliefs about harm and their interest in trying the products.
