NCT ID NCT06230159
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether synthetic cooling agents, which replace banned menthol in cigarettes, change how appealing or addictive cigarettes are. Researchers had 34 young adult smokers try these new cigarettes and measured their smoking behavior and preferences. The goal was to understand if these additives make cigarettes more or less harmful and addictive.
