The overall goal of the study is to demonstrate reduction in the levels of biomarkers of exposure (BoExp) to selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) identified in cigarettes and to obtain safety information in healthy adult smokers switching to the Carbon Heated Tobacco Product 1.2 (CHTP 1.2) as compared to subjects continuing smoking cigarettes (CC) in a confinement setting for 5 days (exclusive use) followed by an ambulatory setting of 85 days.

Concentrations of Monohydroxybutenylmercapturic Acid (MHBMA)
Concentrations measured at Day 5 in urine, adjusted for creatinine. Geometric least squares (LS) means and confidence intervals (Cls) from a generalized linear model conducted on log-transformed Day 5 values with log-transformed baseline value, study arm, sex and CC consumption reported at admission as fixed effect factors.
Time frame: 5 days
Concentration of 3-hydroxypropylmercapturic Acid (3-HPMA)
Concentrations measured at Day 5 in urine, adjusted for creatinine. Geometric least squares (LS) means and confidence intervals (Cls) from a generalized linear model conducted on log-transformed Day 5 values with log-transformed baseline value, study arm, sex and CC consumption reported at admission as fixed effect factors.
Time frame: 5 days
Concentration of S-phenylmercapturic Acid (S-PMA)
Concentrations measured at Day 5 in urine, adjusted for creatinine. Geometric least squares (LS) means and confidence intervals (Cls) from a generalized linear model conducted on log-transformed Day 5 values with log-transformed baseline value, study arm, sex and CC consumption reported at admission as fixed effect factors.
Time frame: 5 days
Levels of Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)
% COHb blood measurements performed in the evening of Day 5, expressed as % of saturation of hemoglobin. Geometric least squares (LS) means and confidence intervals (Cls) from a generalized linear model conducted on log-transformed Day 5 values with log-transformed baseline value, study arm, sex and CC consumption reported at admission as fixed effect factors.
Time frame: 5 days
Concentrations of Total 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (Total NNAL)
Concentrations measured at Day 90 in urine, adjusted for creatinine. Geometric least squares (LS) means and confidence intervals (Cls) from a generalized linear model conducted on log-transformed Day 90 values with log-transformed baseline value, study arm, sex and CC consumption reported at admission as fixed effect factors.
