Spent the Budget on E-cigarettes for Each Condition Primary · 1 day

Participants will complete purchasing trials in an Experimental Tobacco Marketplace (ETM) with cigarettes increasing in price. Product availability in the ETM depended on the experimental condition. The average percentage of budget spent on e-cigarettes as a function of the restriction of cigarettes and/or e-cigarettes will be assessed.
