This study intends to evaluate the nasal mucociliary clearance (NMC) by determining the value obtained for saccharin transit time (STT) test over the course of 12 hours following a single cigarette use in adult smokers, to compare it relative to never smokers, and to examine the relationship between plasma nicotine levels and STT value in smokers and never smokers. Safety will also be monitored during the study.
The planned maximum study duration for a single study participant from Screening through completion of study will be 33 days.

Active Comparator: Cigarette smokers
Subjects who have smoked at least 20 cigarettes per day for at least the past 5 years. Subjects will be allowed to use their own brand of non-menthol cigarettes. There will be no smoking restriction after the discharge at Visit 3 and during the 1 day follow-up period. |
Other: Cigarette
After enrollment, and between Visit 2 and Visit 3, the subjects will abstain from smoking for a period of 8 hours. At Visit 3, after the 8-hour smoking abstinence period, the subjects will smoke 1 single cigarette. |
|
No Intervention: Never smokers
Subjects who have smoked less than 100 cigarettes throughout their lifetime and no cigarettes in the past 3 years. Subjects will not be allowed to smoke until discharge at Visit 3. |
- Saccharin Transit Time at t0, Start of Product Use [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
Before performing the test, each subject will spend approximately 15 minutes acclimatizing to the environment of the clinic. A 1-2 mm particle of saccharin will be placed under direct vision, approximately 1 cm behind the anterior end of the inferior turbinate. The position of the subject's head should be flexed approximately 10° by visual assessment.
The saccharin transit time will be determined as the elapsed time in minutes and seconds from placement of the saccharin until the time the subject perceives a sweet taste.
- Saccharin Transit Time 4 Hours After Product Use [ Time Frame: Measured at 4 hours after product use. ]
Before performing the test, each subject will spend approximately 15 minutes acclimatizing to the environment of the clinic. A 1-2 mm particle of saccharin will be placed under direct vision, approximately 1 cm behind the anterior end of the inferior turbinate. The position of the subject's head should be flexed approximately 10° by visual assessment.
The saccharin transit time will be determined as the elapsed time in minutes and seconds from placement of the saccharin until the time the subject perceives a sweet taste.
- Saccharin Transit Time 8 Hours After Product Use [ Time Frame: Measured at 8 hours after product use. ]
Before performing the test, each subject will spend approximately 15 minutes acclimatizing to the environment of the clinic. A 1-2 mm particle of saccharin will be placed under direct vision, approximately 1 cm behind the anterior end of the inferior turbinate. The position of the subject's head should be flexed approximately 10° by visual assessment.
The saccharin transit time will be determined as the elapsed time in minutes and seconds from placement of the saccharin until the time the subject perceives a sweet taste.
- Saccharin Transit Time 12 Hours After Product Use [ Time Frame: Measured at 12 hours after product use. ]
Before performing the test, each subject will spend approximately 15 minutes acclimatizing to the environment of the clinic. A 1-2 mm particle of saccharin will be placed under direct vision, approximately 1 cm behind the anterior end of the inferior turbinate. The position of the subject's head should be flexed approximately 10° by visual assessment.
The saccharin transit time will be determined as the elapsed time in minutes and seconds from placement of the saccharin until the time the subject perceives a sweet taste.
- Concentration of Plasma Nicotine at t0, Start of Product Use [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Nicotine plasma concentrations will be measured using validated LC/MS/MS bioanalytical method.
- Concentration of Plasma Nicotine 4 Hours After Product Use [ Time Frame: Measured at 4 hours after product use. ]Nicotine plasma concentrations will be measured using validated LC/MS/MS bioanalytical method.
- Concentration of Plasma Nicotine 8 Hours After Product Use [ Time Frame: Measured at 8 hours after product use. ]Nicotine plasma concentrations will be measured using validated LC/MS/MS bioanalytical method.
- Concentration of Plasma Nicotine 12 Hours After Product Use [ Time Frame: Measured at 12 hours after product use. ]The Nicotine plasma concentrations will be measured using validated LC/MS/MS bioanalytical method.
- Ribonucleic Acid Quantity (Right Nostril) [ Time Frame: Nasal scraping was performed at the final clinic visit, on Day 2, before checkout from the study. ]Ribonucleic Acid quantity: concentration measured in the right nostril (RNA protect buffer) using two nasal scraping methods
- Ribonucleic Acid Quantity (Left Nostril) [ Time Frame: Nasal scraping was performed at the final clinic visit, on Day 2, before checkout from the study. ]Ribonucleic Acid quantity: concentration measured in the left nostril (Qiazol buffer) using two nasal scraping methods
- Ribonucleic Acid Quality (Right Nostril) [ Time Frame: Nasal scraping was performed at the final clinic visit, on Day 2, before checkout from the study. ]Ribonucleic Acid quality assessed using the RNA integrity number: measured in the right nostril (RNA protect buffer) using two nasal scraping methods. RNA integrity Number is an algorithm for assessing RNA integrity and based on a numbering system from 1 to 10, with 1 being the most degraded profile and 10 being the most intact.
