Clinical Trial Summary

Determine the effects of little cigars on human exposure to tobacco smoke oxidants. In a balanced randomized cross-over study design in cigarette smokers, subjects will be assigned to 6 exposure groups. These include a high oxidant unflavored little cigar exposure condition, a low oxidant unflavored little cigar exposure condition, a high oxidant flavored exposure condition, a low oxidant flavored exposure little cigar exposure condition, their usual cigarette, and a control condition (unlit little cigar). Following the smoking of each product, exhaled breath condensate samples will be collected at baseline, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes. Samples will be analyzed for levels of oxidant markers including hydrogen peroxide, 8-isoprostanes, and C-reactive protein, as well as nicotine, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN).
