P values were derived from a linear mixed model for repeated measures; statistical significance was evaluated at P < 0.05. LN, low nicotine; HN, high nicotine

All = whole experimental session (stimulus: 0–30), pre = first half of experiment (stimulus: 1–15) and during = second half of experiment (i.e., during menthol application; stimulus: 16–30)
