Summary
The aim of this study is to measure nicotine cue- and withdrawal-induced craving in current smokers under four distinct conditions: after smoking a conventional cigarette, an electronic cigarette (e-Cigarette) containing nicotine, an e-Cigarette without nicotine, and after taking a nicotine lozenge. Participants will be asked to attend four morning study visits after overnight smoking abstinence. Standardized questionnaires will be used to assess changes under each condition, allowing for the investigation of the efficacy of e-Cigarettes in reducing craving by replacing the behavioral component of smoking with minimal risk of adverse effects.
