Brief summary
The overall goal of the study is to demonstrate reduction in the levels of biomarkers of exposure (BoExp) to selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) identified in cigarettes and to obtain safety information in healthy adult smokers switching to the Carbon Heated Tobacco Product 1.2 (CHTP 1.2) as compared to subjects continuing smoking cigarettes (CC) in a confinement setting for 5 days (exclusive use) followed by an ambulatory setting of 85 days.
Interventions
Ad libitum use of the CHTP 1.2 for 5 days in confinement followed by 85 days in an ambulatory setting.
Ad libitum use of subject's own preferred non-menthol brand of CC for 5 days in confinement followed by 85 days in an ambulatory setting.

Pre-assignment details
Following enrollment of 121 subjects, each subject received a product test of CHTP 1.2 prior to randomization. One subject was not randomized due to the physician's decision. This subject is included in the Exposed Not Randomized reporting group of the Baseline Characteristics. Consequently, 120 subjects were randomized.
