* Participants who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and attend an Intake Visit for medical screening will be asked to provide a blood sample to determine NMR. Only those individuals who are characterized as slow or rapid, based on NMRs .26, or .42, will be eligible.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. use of any nicotine containing products other than cigarettes
2. current or impending enrollment in smoking cessation program
3. history in the last year or current treatment of substance abuse (other than nicotine dependence)
4. positive drug screen for cocaine or opiates for urine drug screen at intake session

12. age less than 21 years- participants must be 21 years old to give consent to volunteer
13. age more than 65 years - smoking is often associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary obstructive diseases that manifest later in life. As smokers develop these problems, smoking behavior and biomarkers of harm may be affected therefore we will restrict enrollment to those under age 65
14. provide baseline CO reading less than 10 at initial session
15. current use (or use within past 14 days) of any medication that affects the biotransformation of nicotine, such as anticonvulsant drugs, rifampin, and disulfiram; or any psychoactive medications which can affect smoking behaviors.
16. any conditions viewed by the PI or study physician as creating a potential increased risk to a participant due to their participation will be reasons for exclusion
17. at the discretion of the PI, any participants viewed as non-compliant will be excluded from further participation
18. Smoke cigarettes with a filter size other than standard or slim sized as the topography mouthpieces are sized for standard filters and have an adapter for slim cigarettes only.
19. Participants with a positive breath alcohol reading at intake session where they are being consented may be rescheduled. If participants have a positive breath alcohol at a rescheduled intake session, they will be excluded.
