Switching to Low Oxidant Content Cigarettes in Adult Smokers

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall objective of this clinical study is to determine if smokers who switch from their usual high reactive oxygen and nitrous oxide species (ROS/NOS) products to a low ROS/NOS product exhibit increased or decreased levels of oxidative stress/damage, respectively.

Clinical Trial Description

Researchers at Penn State Hershey are seeking healthy adult cigarette smokers between the ages of 21-65 who smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day for at least one year.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of reduced oxidative/ nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) cigarettes compared to high ROS/RNS cigarettes.

Study participation lasts 8 weeks, with 5 study visits at the Hershey Medical Center. All eligible participants will be given Spectrum research cigarettes, provided free of charge, and will be asked to only smoke those cigarettes for the first four weeks of the study. Following that four-week period of time all participants will be given low ROS content cigarettes (American Spirit Dark Green or Pall Mall Red). Participants will be asked to smoke only these cigarettes for the final four weeks of the study, these cigarettes will also be provided to you free of charge. ;
