you will have the opportunity to participate in several short surveys for the Food

complete about 2-3 short surveys a year and your participation in each survey is
voluntary. The surveys will only take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. If you
complete the panel enrollment process with me, you will receive a $35 cash
payment as a token of our appreciation for joining the panel. As a panel member,
you will also receive a $15 cash payment for each of the short surveys you
complete.

B. CIGAR MODULE [Ask to all Respondents]
[PROGRAMMER: DISPLAY A PICTURE OF CIGAR PRODUCT TYPES]
SBB_INTRO: These questions are about regular cigars, cigarillos, and little filtered cigars.
REGULAR CIGAR: A cigar that typically contains at least ½ ounce of tobacco (as much as a pack
of cigarettes) and usually takes 1-2 hours to smoke.
CIGARILLO: Medium cigars that sometimes are sold with plastic or wooden tips. Some
common brands are Black and Mild, Swisher Sweets, Dutch Masters, and Phillies Blunts.
Cigarillos are usually sold individually or in packs of 5 or fewer.
LITTLE FILTERED CIGAR: Look like cigarettes and are usually brown in color. Like cigarettes,
little filtered cigars have a spongy filter and are sold in packs of 20. Some common brands are
Prime Time and Winchester.
The first questions are about free samples of regular cigars, cigarillos, and little filtered cigars.
A free sample is a full size, trial size, or puff of a regular cigar, cigarillo, or little filtered cigar
given to you for no cost. This does not include promotions where you have to buy something
in order to receive free regular cigars, cigarillos, or little filtered cigars, such as, “buy one get
one free” coupons, membership programs with “punch cards”, or when a friend or family
member gives you regular cigars, cigarillos, and little filtered cigars. You can receive free
samples that are given to you in person or a voucher or coupon that you can redeem at no
cost at another time.

such as “buy one get one free” coupons, membership programs with “punch cards”, or when a

given to you in person or a voucher or coupon that you can redeem at no cost at another time.

D. ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES MODULE [Ask to all Respondents]
[PROGRAMMER: DISPLAY A PICTURE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE PRODUCT TYPES]
SBD_INTRO: These next questions are about electronic cigarettes. You may also know them
as e-cigarettes, vape-pens, mods, or e-vaporizers. Some look like cigarettes, and others look
like pens or small pipes. These are battery-powered, usually contain liquid nicotine, and
produce vapor instead of smoke. E-cigarettes and similar products can be bought as one-time
disposable devices, as devices that use pre-filled pods or cartridges, as devices with refillable
pods, tanks, or cartridges, or as mods that can be customized by the user. These usually
contain a liquid, often called an “e-liquid” or “e-juice.” Some common brands are JUUL, Vuse,
MarkTen, Blu, Logic, and NJOY.
The first questions are about free samples of e-cigarettes. A free sample is a working ecigarette device, an e-cigarette liquid or cartridge refill, or a puff of an e-cigarette given to you
for no cost. This does not include promotions where you have to buy something in order to
receive free e-cigarettes, such as “buy one get one free” coupons, membership programs with
“punch cards”, or when a friend or family member gives you e-cigarettes. You can receive free
samples that are given to you in person or a voucher or coupon that you can redeem at no
cost at another time.

E. HOOKAH/WATERPIPES MODULE [Ask to all Respondents]
[PROGRAMMER: DISPLAY A PICTURE OF WATERPIPE TOBACCO PRODUCT TYPES]
SBE_INTRO: These questions are about smoking tobacco in a hookah, which is a type of water
pipe. It is sometimes called “shisha” or a “narghile” pipe. Some common brands are Fumari,
Starbuzz, Al Fakher, MYA Saray, or Evolution Hookah. People often smoke tobacco in hookah
in groups at cafes or in hookah bars.
The first questions are about free samples of hookah tobacco. A free sample is a full size, trial
size, or puff of hookah tobacco given to you for no cost. This does not include promotions
where you have to buy something in order to receive free hookah tobacco, such as “buy one
get one free” coupons, membership programs with “punch cards”, or when a friend or family
member gives you hookah tobacco. You can receive free samples that are given to you in
person or a voucher or coupon that you can redeem at no cost at another time.

out?

2

SECTION A: TOBACCO USE UPDATE [TOBACCO USE]
First, we would like to ask you a few questions background questions about your use
of tobacco products.
SCA1. How old are you?

CHECK BOX 1: IF SCA1 < 18, TERMINATE; DISPLAY ON A NEW SCREEN: Thank you for your
interest in this study. Unfortunately, you are not eligible to complete this survey.
IF SCA1 IS LEFT BLANK, HARD CHECK WITH: Proving age is important to ensure you are
eligible to participate in the study. Please provide your age.

Yes
No

SCA5. These questions are about regular cigars, cigarillos, and little filtered cigars.
“Cigarillos” are medium cigars that sometimes are sold with plastic or wooden
tips. Some common brands are Black and Mild, Swisher Sweets, Dutch Masters,
and Phillies Blunts. Cigarillos are usually sold individually or in packs of 5 or
fewer. Little filtered cigars look like cigarettes and are usually brown in color.
Like cigarettes, little filtered cigars have a spongy filter and are sold in packs
of 20. Some common brands are Prime Time or Winchester.

SCA7. Now, we’d like to ask you about smokeless tobacco products. Smokeless
tobacco products are placed in the mouth or nose and can include chewing
tobacco, snuff, dip, snus (snoose), or dissolvable tobacco. Some examples of
these product brands are Skoal, Copenhagen, Grizzly, Levi Garrett, and Red
Man.

SCD4_INTRO. These next questions are about electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes.
You may also know them as vape pens, mods, or e-vaporizers. Some look like
cigarettes, and others look like pens or small pipes. These are batterypowered, usually contain liquid nicotine, and produce vapor instead of smoke.
E-cigarettes and similar products can be bought as one-time disposable
devices, as devices that use pre-filled pods or cartridges, as devices with
refillable pods, tanks, or cartridges, or as mods that can be customized by the
user. These usually contain a liquid, often called an “e-liquid” or “e-juice.”
Some common brands are JUUL, Vuse, MarkTen, Blu, Logic, and NJOY.
