We appreciate your question about our dissolvable products, and we can tell you the following:
Both Ariva and Stonewall are made with 100% StarCured(R) flue-cured
tobacco.
Because these products are made from
tobacco, they contain naturally occuring nicotine. Each piece of Ariva contains about 1.5 milligrams of nicotine, roughly as much nicotine as would be obtained from smoking one "light" cigarette. Each piece of Stonewall contains roughly 4 milligrams of nicotine, which is about as much nicotine as is found in one small pinch of moist snuff. While Stonewall was developed to give adult users of moist snuff and chewing tobacco an alternative product, we have found that adults who smoke up to two packs of cigarettes per day are finding Stonewall more helpful to them than Ariva. There is logic to this, in that those who take in a larger amount of nicotine are looking for an alternative that matches daily nicotine intake.
The tobacco is finely milled and then compressed by machine into the hard bits, or pieces, that are then blister-packaged.
Each product contains less than one calorie-worth of a non-sugar sweetener, sucralose. It also contains natural and artificial flavorings and ingredients that are far fewer in number than what is found on general ingredient lists for cigarettes.
Since Ariva and Stonewall are the only dissolvable smokeless tobacco products in the marketplace, we understandably have not made a specific ingredient list public, as we seek to protect proprietary product information.
Hope this is helpful to you.
