Study Summary

Prevalence of smoking among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) is six-fold that of the general US adult population. The mortality rate of opioid-dependent smokers is four times that of opioid-dependent nonsmokers, and their response to smoking cessation interventions is notoriously poor. A national policy of reducing the nicotine content of cigarettes has the potential to be an effective method of reducing tobacco use prevalence, dependence, and related adverse health outcomes. Controlled trials in the general smoker population have demonstrated that switching smokers to low nicotine content cigarettes results in reductions in cigarettes per day (CPD), dependence and tobacco toxicant exposure, with few adverse consequences. The investigators believe that the impact of reduced nicotine standards on use of combusted cigarettes in this population will be moderated considerably by other tobacco market conditions including (1) availability of alternative sources of non-combusted nicotine, and (2) whether these alternatives are available under conditions that optimize their appeal. The investigators hypothesize the same for other vulnerable populations as well, but achieving significant reductions in use of combusted cigarettes in smokers with OUD seems especially unlikely in the absence of readily available and appealing alternative sources of non-combusted nicotine. The goal of the proposed trial is to experimentally model whether increased availability and appeal of an alternative, non-combusted source of nicotine (e-cigarettes) will enhance the effectiveness of a reduced nicotine standard for cigarettes in smokers with OUD. Additionally, the investigators will test whether allowing participants to personalize the favor of the e-liquid alters any moderating effects their availability may have on tobacco cigarette smoking. Daily smokers who are receiving methadone or buprenorphine treatment will be recruited at University of Vermont and Johns Hopkins Universit
