目的：调查是否发展无烟烟草产品（烟草制品）的目的是针对当前的smokers.Methods：本研究分析了内部烟草行业的文件，描述了无烟烟草市场的相关研究。相关文件包括那些详细说明的发展和目标的卷烟产品，特别强调湿snuff.Results：卷烟和卷烟制造商认识到，不断变化的人口结构的卷烟用户，以及室内吸烟限制，健康问题和社会接受程度降低吸烟可能会影响卷烟市场的增长。制造商开发了新的卷烟产品，以针对吸烟者，促进双香烟和cartesuse.Conclusions：重营销的新的卷烟产品可能会鼓励双重使用，并导致未知的公共卫生影响。烟草产品的设计目的是增加香烟的使用，并抵消诸如清洁室内空气法等监管策略。在美国，在联邦监管的前景下，烟草公司的竞争战略可能会为烟草公司提供多样化的产品。这些产品可能对联邦机构减少烟草使用造成的危害的努力构成重大挑战。
Objective: To investigate whether development of smokeless tobacco products (SLT) is intended to target current smokers.Methods: This study analysed internal tobacco industry documents to describe research related to the smokeless tobacco market. Relevant documents included those detailing the development and targeting of SLT products with a particular emphasis on moist snuff.Results: Cigarette and SLT manufacturers recognised that shifting demographics of SLT users, as well as indoor smoking restrictions, health concerns and reduced social acceptability of smoking could impact the growth of the SLT market. Manufacturers developed new SLT products to target cigarette smokers promoting dual cigarette and SLT use.Conclusions: Heavy marketing of new SLT products may encourage dual use and result in unknown public health effects. SLT products have been designed to augment cigarette use and offset regulatory strategies such as clean indoor air laws. In the United States, the SLT strategy may provide cigarette companies with a diversified range of products under the prospect of federal regulation. These products may pose significant challenges to efforts by federal agencies to reduce harm caused by tobacco use.
