Conditions
Summary
This study evaluates knowledge, feelings and thoughts regarding nicotine products among young adults who are susceptible to but do not use tobacco/nicotine and adults who use tobacco/nicotine.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria10
- Young adult susceptible non-users aged 18-24 who have never used ONPs and have never used but are susceptible to using either:
- combustible tobacco only (cigarettes, cigars, waterpipe)
- non-combustible tobacco only (ST, ECs, heated tobacco products)
- or both combustible and non-combustible tobacco (i.e., dual susceptibility)
- Adult tobacco users aged 18-65 who have never used ONPs OR have used ONPs >3 months ago and 10 times or less in their lifetime. All adult tobacco users must also be:
- exclusive combustible tobacco users
- exclusive non-combustible tobacco users
- dual users
- For adult tobacco users, we will define current use as use of combustible and/or non-combustible tobacco every day or some days for 6 months or longer
- Willing and able to complete an in-person lab visit.
Exclusion Criteria5

Interventions
Participants will be randomly assigned to conditions in a 3 (Nicotine Concentration: None on label, Low, High) x 3 (Nicotine Source Claim: None, "Tobacco Free," "Synthetic Nicotine") between-subjects design. We will stratify randomization by young adult susceptible non-users and adult tobacco users for balance across the conditions. Participants will view 16 oral nicotine pouch pack images in random order that correspond to the nicotine concentration and source claim condition they are randomized to. Within each condition, pack images will vary by 4 brands and 4 flavors per brand. While viewing the images, we will collect psychophysiological data including heart rate, galvanic skin response, and eye tracking.
