Research summary

Peter G. Shields studies tobacco products and smoking behavior, focusing on how design features like flavors, filter ventilation, and menthol affect cigarette and e-cigarette use, appeal, and substitution behavior. His work also touches on tobacco-related cancer risk, genetic susceptibility, and biomarkers of exposure, often using experimental marketplace studies to simulate how policy changes (like flavor bans) affect consumer choices. This research is relevant to students interested in tobacco regulatory science, public health policy, and cancer epidemiology.
