Summary

This study aims to investigate harm-reduction sampling in a choice format versus medicinal nicotine sampling on smoking behavior, identify mechanisms of sampling's effects, and explore moderators of these effects among a national sample of people unmotivated to quit smoking. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to choose one of two harm-reduction products (ECIG, ONP) versus a medicinal nicotine control condition (nicotine patch + lozenge, NPL), receive a 4-week starter product regimen, and then be followed for 6 months to assess use behavior.
