Nicotine Uptake from Non-Smoking Tobacco

Masudha Girkani

This abstract explores the nuanced phenomenon of nicotine uptake from non-smoking tobacco products,
shedding light on a less-explored aspect of tobacco consumption. While traditional smoking methods remain a
major contributor to nicotine intake, the emergence of alternative tobacco products raises critical questions about
the potential health implications of non-smoking forms of tobacco use. This inquiry delves into the diverse range of
products, such as smokeless tobacco, snuff, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), which have become
prevalent sources of nicotine exposure. The review encompasses an examination of the mechanisms of nicotine
absorption from non-smoking tobacco products, emphasizing the variations in delivery and their impact on overall
nicotine uptake. The abstract synthesizes existing literature on the health effects, addictive potential, and public
health considerations associated with non-smoking forms of tobacco use. As the landscape of tobacco consumption
evolves, understanding the dynamics of nicotine uptake from non-smoking tobacco becomes crucial for informing
public health strategies, regulatory measures, and targeted interventions to mitigate potential health risks associated
with these alternative products.
