They will be asked to smoke and compare one of the following three alternatives: 1) Newport Lights vs. Salem Lights 2) Newport Lights vs. Kool Super Lights 3) Newport Lights vs. Kool Milds All qualified respondents wi.ll be between the ages of 21 & 55. he sample will be com- {,rised of 'z males/'Z females and, additionally, '2 will be 21 to 35~ 36 to 55 years old. Each of the 600 respondents will be blindfolded and then yiven two cigarettes to smoke (e.q. Newport Lights and Salem Lights). To avoid any position bias, Newport Lights will be rotated between first and second places. Based on the actual market segment proportions, it is estimated that we should obtain randomly approximately 200 Kool smokers, 200 Salem smokers and 200 of all other menthol smokers. One third of each of these groups will try one of the alternatives. This will enable us to determine how Newport Lights fares among total menthol smokers and among smokers of Kool or Salem. *(Burke Mkts & good menthol,BDI areas ) . {cy Criteria For Analysis ~ The objective is to determine whether Newport Lights has higher levels of taste percep- ~ tion than its competitors---Salem Lights, Kool Super Lights & Kool Milds.
