electronic cigarette vs own brand useExperimentalParticipants will come in for three session. During one session, participants will first complete a 10-puff product use bout with JUUL, and then a 90-minute ad lib product use bout with JUUL (the session will be approximately 3 hours). During one session, participants will first complete a 10-puff product use bout with IQOS, and then a 90-minute ad lib product use bout with IQOS (the session will be approximately 3 hours). During one session, participants will first complete a 10-puff product use bout with their own brand cigarettes, and then a 90-minute ad lib product use bout with their own brand cigarette (the session will be approximately 3 hours). The order of the sessions will be determined randomly and data about session will not be recorded or used in the analysis.
