Big Pharma Mouthspray, Snus ?

[irbf]

All this time I've been avoiding the Hydrogen Hydroxide and I should of been avoiding the Dihydrogen Monooxide... I feel so foolish....

This is worth another look considering all that has been going on, with the FDA frowning on e-cigs, and other forms of alternatives coming under the microscope. It seems Big Pharma is experimenting with products called NicoNovum -- a pouch, lozenge and mouth spray. The pouch is like a joke: It's a snus portion of tobacco with 4mg of nicotine. The joke is that Swedish snus now runs as high as 17mg per portion, and even mini snus come at 6mg per portion.

The lozenge is like a Stonewall dissolvable piece; same nic level but obviously it will cost far more when marketed.

So what we have in this research paper is proof that dissolvables like Stonewall are the same as a Big Pharma lozenge -- but at greatly reduced price to the user. A mini snus flavored in mint is a great NRT product, at fractions of the cost of anything Big Pharma will market. These things WORK, and we don't have to shell out big bucks to Big Pharma. Research has now proven what I learned some time ago.

Which leaves us mouth spray. That's a great idea. Get a craving? Spritz the spray! I tried putting e-liquid in nasal spray, and it hurt like crazy. I cooked e-liquid into hard candy -- didn't work well. Maybe if I put some in mouth spray ...

This is really interesting reading and proof that no e-smoker should put all his/her eggs in the e-smoking basket.

I can't decide if you are more desperate or I am.
I'm sure the extraction method one uses has a lot to do with sucess or lack of.
/wanders off to look for some fresh Zimbabwean tobacco leaves.
