Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the cigarette without nicotine is a placebo. This term refers to a substance that has no chemical effects and is given to a patient or test subject instead of the actual drug, in order to compare the effects that it has to the individual in comparison to the effects of the individuals that take the actual drug. Which is what the researcher are doing in this scenario as they test the reactions that nicotine has on individuals with those that just think they are smoking a cigarette.
