Introduction

This research investigated the extent to which three nicotine products promote day-level cigarette substitution during a 1-week switch attempt METHODS: Adults who smoked daily but were not motivated to quit were randomized to 4 weeks using: 1) very low nicotine cigarettes (VLNCs), 2) e-cigarettes, or 3) no product.
