Oral Tobacco as a Harm Reduction Product: Study 2 - Efficacy of Oral Tobacco Products Compared to Medicinal Nicotine for Smoking Cessation and Among Non-abstainers, for Reduction in Cigarette Smoking


This second study under "Oral Tobacco as a Harm Reduction Product" grant is a clinical
trial. Subjects will be randomized to the brand of smokeless tobacco that is determined to
be most popular in Study 1 or to nicotine gum for 12 weeks to compare efficacy for smoking
cessation. The secondary aims are to determine the effects of the products on biomarkers of
exposure and toxicity. If the sample size is sufficient, then comparisons will be made
across products on these measures while controlling for amount of tobacco use. Other
secondary aims include examining the reliability of our biological measures in a control
group that continues to smoke, the extent of constituent extraction after oral pouch tobacco
use, the relationship between extent of constituent extraction and biomarkers of exposure,
and finally, withdrawal symptoms from the oral tobacco products. Two sites will be used for
these studies: University of Minnesota and Oregon Research Institute (ORI).
