Cigarette and e-liquid demand and substitution in e-cigarette-naive smokers.

ABSTRACT: Behavioral economic methods allow experimental manipulation of price and examination of its effects on tobacco product purchasing. These methods may be used to examine tobacco product abuse liability and to prospectively model possible effects of price regulation.

Participants also completed self-report measures of drug effects/liking. When p
