- Smoking topography and harm exposure in a new PREPAndrew Strasser; Fiscal Year: 2007..It will determine how a new PREP is actually used. It will also determine how product use relates to harm exposure. Finally, it will identify those most susceptible to changes in smoking topography that may increase harm exposure. ..
