Potential Impact of a Flavored Cigar Ban in Young Adults Who Dual Use: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
A clinical trial found that young adults who use both cigars and cigarettes strongly prefer flavored cigars over tobacco-flavored ones, but removing flavored cigars did not lead them to smoke more cigarettes. This suggests that banning flavored cigars might reduce overall cigar use without pushing dual users toward increased cigarette consumption.
Relevance to India: None stated.
