The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $687,511 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The grant supports a randomized trial to investigate the impact of charcoal-filtered cigarettes on product perceptions, smoking behaviors, and toxicant exposure. The study aims to provide ecologically valid data on the real-world effects of charcoal-filtered cigarettes, given concerns that prior studies using machine-based testing may have underestimated the compensatory smoking that occurs with actual human use. The 5-year project will run from August 2025 to July 2030 and is intended to help predict the commercial viability and public health implications of charcoal-filtered cigarette products that are gaining market attention.
