ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Filter ventilation in cigarettes has been associated with alterations in smoking topography in order to compensate for the lower nicotine yields. Subjective effects of cigarettes include sensations, which can be affected by how a person smokes a cigarette. We look at smoking topography as a mediator in the relationship between filter ventilation levels and subjective effects.METHODS:
Smoking topography and subjective effects data come from the baseline usual cigarette brand laboratory visits of participants (N = 607) in a randomized clinical trial on reduced nicotine cigarettes. Conditional process analysis was done using PROCESS macro version 3.5 in SPSS.RESULTS:
There was a positive indirect effect of ventilation on satisfaction through total puff volume (0.004, 95% CI 0.002, 0.007]) as well as ventilation on satisfaction through puff count then total puff volume, sequentially (0.001, 95% CI [0.000, 0.003]). There was a positive indirect effect of ventilation on enjoyment through puff count for individuals less than 43 years of age (0.01, 95% CI [0.002, 0.013]). There was a positive indirect effect of ventilation on enjoyment through total puff volume for individuals who smoke less than 14.33 cigarettes per day (0.009, 95% CI [0.004, 0.015]).CONCLUSIONS:
We found preliminary evidence that topography measures (puff count and total puff volume), mediate the relationship between filter ventilation and specific subjective effects of smoking (satisfaction and enjoyment). Age and cigarettes smoked per day moderated these relationships. These results could have implications regarding filter ventilation restrictions and smokers' perceptions of using such cigarettes.Palabras clave
