ABSTRACT
SIGNIFICANCE:
Tobacco product design features, including flavors and cigarette filter ventilation, are subject to regulation. This study examined the effects of cigarette and e-cigarette flavors on demand and substitution by preferred cigarette flavor and ventilation in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace (ETM).METHODS:
In a mixed between-group (usual cigarette flavor and ventilation)/within-subject design (policy conditions), individuals who use tobacco (n=176 cigarette (60.5 % female); n=91 multiple products (26.7 % female)) were recruited using Ipsos and InnovateMR, completed purchasing trials with increasing cigarette prices in the ETM. Participants were exposed to four conditions in a 2×2 factorial design with cigarette flavors restricted or unrestricted and e-cigarette flavors restricted or unrestricted.RESULTS:
In individuals who exclusively smoke cigarettes 1) Cigarette menthol restrictions decreased willingness to purchase cigarettes (OR 0.001; 95 % CI 0.00002, 0.015) for individuals that prefer menthol cigarettes and increased willingness to purchase NRT (OR 4.02; 95 % CI 1.47, 11.0), 2) cigarette menthol restrictions reduced demand for cigarettes in individuals who smoke menthol cigarettes (p<0.001), 3) e-cigarette flavor restrictions reduced the degree of e-cigarette substitution in individuals who smoke menthol cigarettes (p=0.028), and 4) preference for higher cigarette filter ventilation was associated with higher demand for cigarettes (p=0.003) and lowered substitution of smokeless tobacco products (p=0.028). In individuals who use multiple tobacco products, restrictions did not impact product purchasing.CONCLUSION:
Strategies to reduce flavored product sales and increase cessation resource accessibility may improve population health by reducing smoking and increasing NRT use in individuals who use menthol cigarettes.Palavras-chave
