Heated tobacco may cut harmful chemical exposure for smokers

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Voluntary consent to participate in this study documented on the signed ICF. 2. Score 5 or higher (moderate dependence or higher) on the FTCD. 3. Healthy adult males and females ≥ 22 and ≤ 65 years of age, inclusive, at Screening. 4.

Post-bronchodilator forced expired volume in 1 second (FEV1) : forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio \> 0.7 and FEV1 \> 80% of predicted at screening. 9. Negative pregnancy test at Screening and first check-in (Day -2) for all female subjects. 10. Female subjects who are heterosexually active and of childbearing potential (eg, neither surgically sterile at least 6 months prior to first check-in nor postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to first check-in with follicle-stimulating hormone \[FSH\] levels consistent with postmenopausal status) must have been using one of the following forms of contraception for the time period indicated and agree to continue using it through completion of the study: * hormonal (eg, oral, vaginal ring, transdermal patch, implant, injection) consistently for at least 3 months prior to first check-in, when used in combination with male condoms with spermicide (use of NuvaRing® is at the Principal Investigator's discretion) * double barrier (eg, condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide) consistently for at least 2 weeks prior to first check-in * intrauterine device or system (utilize Principal Investigator discretion regarding use of hormonal or nonhormonal devices) for at least 3 months prior to first check-in * exclusive partner who is clinically sterile (ie, documented infertility or surgical sterilization; see below for additional information on sterility) or has been vasectomized for at least 6 months (inclusive) prior to first check-in Note: Sexual abstinence, defined as refraining from intercourse, is allowed when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Female subjects of childbearing potential who are not currently engaging in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use one of the above methods of birth control through completion of study, in the event that they have heterosexual intercourse during the course of the study. 11. Female subjects who are of nonchildbearing potential must have undergone one of the following sterilization procedures at least 6 months prior to first check-in: * Hysteroscopic sterilization (including Essure® or similar nonsurgical sterilization procedures); * bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral salpingectomy; * hysterectomy; * bilateral oophorectomy Or be postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to first check-in and have FSH levels consistent with postmenopausal status. 12. Willing to comply with the requirements of the study. 13. Willing to use Ploom HTP after the Product Trial at first check-in. 14. Willing and able to abstain from cigarettes from Day 1 through the end of the study (EOS) on Day 60 (±3 days) if they are randomized to a Smoking Abstinence arm. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of any type of tobacco- or nicotine-containing products other than manufactured cigarettes (eg, e-vapor products, roll-your-own cigarettes, bidis, snuff, nicotine inhaler, pipe, cigar, chewing tobacco, nicotine patch, nicotine spray, nicotine lozenge, or nicotine gum) in the 7 days prior to first check-in. 2. Self-reported puffers (ie, adult smokers who draw smoke from the cigarette into the mouth and throat but do not inhale). 3. Planning to quit smoking in the next three months (at screening). 4. History or presence of clinically significant gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, neurologic, hematologic, endocrine, oncologic, urologic, existing respiratory diseases, immunologic, psychiatric, lymphatic, or cardiovascular disease, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or impact the validity of the study results. 5. Clinically significant abnormal findings on the vital signs, physical examination, medical history, ECG, or clinical laboratory results, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator. 6. Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus at screening. 7. History or presence of any type of malignant tumors. 8. Current evidence or any history of congestive heart failure. 9. Diabetes mellitus (fasting glucose ≥126 mg/L \[7 mmol/L\]) that is not controlled by diet/exercise alone, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator. 10.

Fever (ie, body temperature \>100.5°F) at screening or first check-in. One re-check may be performed at the Principal Investigator's discretion. 14. Body mass index greater than 40.0 kg/m2 or less than 18.0 kg/m2 at screening. 15. Systolic blood pressure \>150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 90 mmHg at screening or first check-in, measured after being seated for at least 10 minutes. Two re-checks may be performed at the Principal Investigator's discretion. 16. Estimated creatinine clearance (by Cockcroft-Gault equation) \< 80 mL/minute at screening. 17. Serum alanine aminotransferase ≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal and/or aspartate aminotransferase ≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal at screening. 18.
