Mean scores for the Cigarette Evaluation Scale (CES) Craving Reduction subscale by cigarette nicotine content and cigarette flavor. (A) Female participants’ mean scores and (B) male participants’ mean scores. Black bars represent menthol smokers and gray bars represent non-menthol smokers. Solid bars represent normal nicotine content (NNC) cigarettes whereas lined bars represent very low-nicotine-content (VLNC) cigarettes. *Significant three-way interaction. Female menthol smokers reported significantly lower craving reduction scores when smoking the NNC cigarette relative to female non-menthol NNC smokers and male smokers (p < .05).
