Objectives Various organic acids are used to create nicotine salt formulations, which may improve the appeal and sensory experience of vaping electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). This clinical experiment examined effects partially highly protonated forms two formulations (nicotine lactate benzoate) versus free-base (no acid additive) on attributes e-cigarettes. Methods Current adult tobacco product users (n=116) participated in an online remote double-blind within-subject randomised...
Modern oral nicotine products (ONPs; nontherapeutic pouches, gums, lozenges, and gummies) may be perceived in ways that could promote uptake nonvapers, dual use with e-cigarettes, or to quit vaping.
