	*In summary, a toxicological analysis does not indicate that low-nicotine and nicotine-free Quest® cigarettes have less adverse toxicological effects in the laboratory than conventional cigarettes. This should draw the attention of the consumers and policy makers. A more comprehensive evaluation in smokers is expected for these new products.		*In summary, a toxicological analysis does not indicate that low-nicotine and nicotine-free Quest® cigarettes have less adverse toxicological effects in the laboratory than conventional cigarettes.

However, the lack of effect on total nicotine exposure indicates VLNC noncompliance, suggesting that smokers with SMI may respond to a reduced-nicotine standard by substituting alternative forms of nicotine."		*"These results suggest that a reduced-nicotine standard for cigarettes would reduce smoking among smokers with SMI.

			===2020: [https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/19/7047 Comparison between Gradual Reduced Nicotine Content and Usual Nicotine Content Groups on Subjective Cigarette Ratings in a Randomized Double-Blind Trial]===
			*"Findings from our study revealed that consistent significant differences between the RNC and the UNC treatment groups started to occur at visit 6 with 1.4 mg nicotine/cigarette. The most consistent differences occurred at visits 8 and 9 when the RNC group was smoking VLNC cigarettes (0.2 mg nicotine/cigarette). The study indicates that even with reduced nicotine, cigarettes still provide some pleasurable and reinforcing effects. Subjects using RNC stated they were less likely to purchase RNC cigarettes, which would facilitate the goal of a nicotine reduction policy, but also points to the need to reduce access to black market high nicotine cigarettes. Understanding the impact of nicotine reduction on subjective effects through cigarette evaluation and liking scales would provide valuable information and possible direction to the FDA on implementing a nicotine reduction policy for cigarettes."
