What is the Glo Topography study?
The purpose of Glo Topography (Glo Topo) is to document how you use the glo which is a heated tobacco product that’s not yet commercially available in the United States. Please keep in mind, a heated tobacco product is not an e-cigarette. The glo is a hand-held electronic heating device with a chamber where you insert a small cigarette-like rod called a neo stick. Neo sticks provided during the study are either menthol or tobacco flavored based on the type of cigarettes you smoke.
A maximum of 100 adult male and female cigarette smokers, aged 21 and over, will be enrolled from Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, and surrounding areas.
Compensation for participation is up to $1,000.
