Benefits of technology

[0042] Use of said product will according to the invention rapidly deliver nicotine in any form to a subject and will also provide for obtaining a quick and / or sustained and / or complete reduction of the urge to smoke or use tobacco and / or for providing a sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking resembling the sense of smoking satisfaction obtained after regular smoking or use of tobacco.

Problems solved by technology

The captioned means and methods do not satisfy the craving that certain users of tobacco experience.
Specifically these means and methods generally do not provide for a sufficiently rapid uptake of nicotine without adverse effects.
This means that none of the hitherto known means and methods satisfactorily fulfills the following well-known NRT teaching by Russel et al:

example 1

[0148] Manufacturing of a 1000 ml formulation with 10 mg nicotine / ml and around pH 8.5.

[0149] Mixture 1

[0150] To a beaker containing 800 ml water of 90° C. was added 0.7 g methyl para-hydroxybenzoate, acting as preservative, and 0.3 g propyl para-hydroxybenzoate, acting as preservative. The additives were dissolved during stirring for about 10 minutes. Then was added 10.45 g sodium dihydrogen phosphate, acting as buffering agent, and 0.5 g EDTA, acting as chelating agent, to the solution, which was stirred for about 5 minutes. Then the solution was cooled to 30° C. during stirring.

[0151] Mixture 2

[0152] To a beaker containing 15.9 g ethanol of room temperature, acting as solvent, was added 0.045 g peppermint oil, acting as flavoring agent. The liquid was mixed for 2 minutes.

[0153] Final Mixture

[0154] Mixture 2 was added during stirring to a beaker containing 150 ml water. Gently 10 g nicotine (base) was added to the beaker. Then Mixture 1 was added to the beaker and stirred fo...

example 2

[0155] Manufacturing of a 1000 ml formulation with 10 mg nicotine / ml and around pH 7.0.

[0156] This Example 2 differs from Example 1 only for pH. The formulation according to Example 2 contains a non-alkalizing buffering agent. This formulation was for use as a comparison in FIG. 2.

[0157] Mixture 1

[0158] To a beaker containing 800 ml water of 90° C. was added 0.7 g methyl para-hydroxybenzoate, acting as preservative, and 0.3 g propyl para-hydroxybenzoate, acting as preservative. The additives were dissolved during stirring for about 10 minutes. Then was added 10.45 g sodium dihydrogen phosphate, acting as buffering agent, and 0.5 g EDTA, acting as chelating agent, to the solution, which was stirred for about 5 minutes. Then the solution was cooled to 30° C. during stirring.

[0159] Mixture 2

[0160] To a beaker containing 15.9 g ethanol of room temperature, acting as solvent, was added 0.045 g peppermint oil, acting as flavoring agent. The liquid was mixed for 2 minutes.

example 3

[0163] Manufacturing of a 1000 ml formulation with 10 mg nicotine / ml and around pH 6.0.

[0164] This Example 3 differs from Example 1 only for pH. The formulation according to Example 3 contains a non-alkalizing buffering agent. This formulation was for use as a comparison in FIG. 2.

[0165] Mixture 1

[0166] To a beaker containing 800 ml water of 90° C. was added 0.7 g methyl para-hydroxybenzoate, acting as preservative, and 0.3 g propyl para-hydroxybenzoate, acting as preservative. The additives were dissolved during stirring for about 10 minutes. Then was added 10.45 g sodium dihydrogen phosphate, acting as buffering agent, and 0.5 g EDTA, acting as chelating agent, to the solution, which was stirred for about 5 minutes. Then the solution was cooled to 30° C. during stirring.

[0167] Mixture 2

[0168] To a beaker containing 15.9 g ethanol of room temperature, acting as solvent, was added 0.045 g peppermint oil, acting as flavoring agent. The liquid was mixed for 2 minutes.
