Abstract:
Nicotine is highly addictive and plays a dominant role in sustaining commercial tobacco use. This study assesses support for a policy to lower the nicotine levels in both cigarettes and cigars because reducing nicotine levels to less addictive or non-addictive levels is expected to reduce tobacco use and the resulting tobacco-related disease and death. Data came from SpringStyles 2023, a web panel survey of adults in the USA, aged 18 years or older (N=6694). Overall, 79.9% of adults supported this policy, including 69.3% of adults who currently smoke cigarettes, 70.2% of adults who currently smoke cigars and 79.2% of adults who reported that they tried to quit smoking in the past year. These findings can help inform federal, state, local, tribal and territorial efforts to reduce commercial tobacco product use.
