Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to learn more about how nicotine levels in cigarettes impact the relationship between smoking and pain. We want to know if changing the nicotine content in cigarettes can alter any pain that smokers have. We hope the information from this study will lead to treatments that make it easier for smokers with pain to quit smoking.
