Study Description

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the overall performance of the currently-marketed MybluTM e-cigarette device and pods, as assessed by nicotine uptake, exposure to smoke constituents, safety and consumer satisfaction, over 8 days. The study is designed as an open-label, randomized study in adult smokers.

Subjects are invited to participate to a second part of the study, for 5 additional days, to compare the use of MybluTM to the use of subject's usual brand combustible cigarettes.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Product use sequence ABDC

Subjects use MybluTM e-cigarette product variant A (2.4% nicotine) ad libitum for 2 days, then switch to use variant B (2.4% nicotine) for 2 days, then D (2.4% nicotine) for 2 days and then C (2.4% nicotine) for 2 days. A washout period of 12 hours product abstinence is observed between product variants. For each product variant, in the morning of the second product use day, a controlled product use session is performed (10 puffs taken at 30-second intervals, with puffs 3 seconds in duration).

  4. Subjective Measure: Urge to Smoke [8 days]

    Urge to smoke score: Subjects answer the following question "How strong is your urge to smoke right now?" using a visual analogue scale. The scale ranges from "Not at all", given a score of 0, to "Extremely", given a score of 100, after ad libitum use of the product.
