NCT ID NCT07042373

First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looks at how taxing cigarettes based on how addictive they are could change how much people smoke and what other tobacco products they might use instead. About 51 adult smokers who smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day will try out different tax plans in a simulated online marketplace. The goal is to see if higher taxes on more addictive products reduce cigarette demand and encourage switching to less harmful options.
