Use of flavor capsule cigarettes and their preliminary impact on smoking cessation in Mexico: an exploratory study
Younger age and being a woman were associated with using FCCs. Self-reported smoking abstinence at Month 3 was comparable between participants who smoke FCCs and non-FCCs. However, biochemically verified abstinent at Month 3 was higher among participants who smoke FCCs compared to participants who smoke non-FCCs, although the difference was not statistically significant. Prospective and adequately powered comparisons must be made between individuals who smoke FCCs and non-FCCs to effectively assess differences in smoking abstinence, and the reasons for these differences.
