An Experimental Evaluation of Menthol-Flavored Tobacco Accessories

In a within-subjects design in-laboratory study, participants will sample non-menthol cigarettes mentholated with various accessories (e.g., crush balls, filter tips, aroma cards) in a controlled setting. They will compare these to their preferred menthol brand using subjective ratings (e.g., liking, strength, ease of use) and complete purchase tasks and ETM trials to assess product demand and likelihood of future use.
