The JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) is being studied as an alternative to combustible cigarette use. This study aims to find out how much nicotine is in the blood and urine of healthy adult subjects after using three JUUL 5% ENDS compared to smoking usual brands of combustible cigarettes and stopping smoking.
This study will serve as a clinical evaluation of the exclusive use of selected JUUL ENDS, with the purpose of gaining an understanding of toxicant exposure.
