Summary

The aim of the study is to demonstrate clinical, biological and functional health changes in smokers switching to the candidate modified risk tobacco product: Tobacco Heating System 2.2 (THS 2.2) as compared to smokers continuing smoking their conventional cigarettes (CC) over a 26-week period. To characterize the study as successful, at least 5 clinical risk endpoints should move in the direction of smoking cessation and these results would be statistically significant. The main analysis will be defined a priori (using the Hailperin-Ruger approach) and will be made between THS 2.2 use and CC use as "per actual product used" and product use categories.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Current healthy smoker as judged by the Principal Investigator(s) or designee(s)
  • Minimum age: 30 years old
  • Have smoked for the last 10 years
  • Have smoked more than 10 non menthol CC/day on average (no brand restriction) over the past year

Exclusion Criteria

  • Clinically relevant medical conditions that in the opinion of the investigators would jeopardize the safety of the participant.
  • Subject who has (FEV1/FVC) 200 mL from pre- to post-bronchodilator values)
  • Subject who took or is taking concomitant medication which may have an impact on the "smoker's heath profile"
  • Female subject is pregnant or breast feeding.
  • Female subject who does not agree to use an acceptable method of effective contraception.
