The US is considering a very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarette standard. We sought to characterize the prevalence and correlates of the incorrect belief that VLNC cigarettes are less carcinogenic than current cigarettes, as this could reduce motivation to quit. Participants were a nationally-representative sample of 650 adult smokers in the US. In 2015–2016, before the VLNC proposal became public, these smokers took part in an online survey. We used multivariate weighted analyses to calculate odds ratios and percentages and a chi square test to examine the association between variables. Overall, 47.1% of smokers believed that smoking VLNC cigarettes for 30 years would be less likely to cause cancer than smoking current cigarettes. This misperception was more common among smokers who were age 55+ (56.6%) and black (57.4%). Additionally, 23.9% of smokers reported they would be less likely to quit if the US adopted a VLNC standard. Thinking that VLNC cigarettes would be less carcinogenic was associated with smokers reporting they would be less likely to quit (p < .01). Many smokers had the misperception that smoking VLNC cigarettes is less likely to cause cancer, and some stated that they would be less likely to quit. A VLNC standard may be more effective if accompanied by a communication campaign that emphasizes the continued dangers of smoking VLNC cigarettes due to the many toxic chemicals in smoke.
