[0020] Snus is a tobacco product. They are small fiber bags containing nicotine. During use, these small bags are usually placed between the gums and the upper lip, and the nicotine is absorbed by the human body through the palate mucosa. The nicotine bag does not need to be heated or burned. Compared with traditional tobacco, e-cigarettes and heated tobacco, snus is more harmless in nature. Secondly, snus can absorb nicotine through the oral mucosa, achieving a smoke-free and tar-free smoking experience. The smoking method is more private and convenient, not restricted by the environment, and suitable for any place. However, the inventors found that snus has many shortcomings in terms of nicotine release speed and stability.
[0021] In the process of realizing the present disclosure, it is found that a nicotine orally dissolving film can be developed, nicotine releasers are added to the orally dissolving film, and at least one of the many problems of nicotine release rate and stability in the orally dissolving nicotine film can be solved through a multi-layer design of coated micropellets.
[0022] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a nicotine orally dissolving film containing coated pellets, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the nicotine orally dissolving film containing coated pellets includes a base layer 1 and coated pellets 2 located in the base layer 1, and the coated pellets 2 include a core 21, a sustained-release layer 22, and a quick-release layer 23 from the inside to the outside. The base layer 1, the sustained-release layer 22, and the quick-release layer 23 each independently include nicotine releasers. The base layer 1, the sustained-release layer 22, and the quick-release layer 23 dissolve when in contact with saliva, and the dissolution rate of the quick-release layer 23 is greater than the dissolution rate of the base layer 1, and the dissolution rate of the sustained-release layer 22 is less than the dissolution rate of the base layer 1.
[0023] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a controllable nicotine delivery system with both rapid onset and sustained release is provided through the multi-layer coating film design of the coated pellets 2, wherein the dissolution rate of the immediate release layer 23 is greater than the dissolution rate of the base layer 1, and nicotine can be quickly released in contact with saliva to provide an initial stimulation of nicotine; the dissolution rate of the sustained release layer 22 is less than the dissolution rate of the base layer 1, and nicotine can be continuously and slowly released to extend the use time of the nicotine oral dissolving film. The structure of the coated pellets 2 protects the active ingredients of tobacco, improves stability and taste, and the oral dissolving film completely dissolves in the oral cavity without any stimulation, thereby improving the product acceptance of the nicotine oral dissolving film, which is portable and easy to use, accurate in dosage, and simple in green and environmentally friendly process, and can be applied to large-scale industrial production.
[0024] It should be noted that the dissolution rate of the base layer 1 may indicate the time required for the base layer 1 to be completely dissolved.

The dissolution rate of the immediate-release layer 23 may indicate the time required for the immediate-release layer 23 to be completely dissolved. The dissolution rate of the immediate-release layer 23 being greater than the dissolution rate of the base layer 1 indicates that the time required for the immediate-release layer 23 to be completely dissolved is greater than the time required for the base layer 1 to be completely dissolved. The dissolution rate of the sustained-release layer 22 being less than the dissolution rate of the base layer 1 indicates that the time required for the sustained-release layer 22 to be completely dissolved is less than the time required for the base layer 1 to be completely dissolved.
