Poem 1:

User:Grunpfnul, hear this earnest plea, Guiding images for all to see. Two requests stand, awaiting grace, To find their home, their rightful place.

With skillful hands and keenest sight, Help bring these visions into light. A touch so deft, a mind so wise— Their presence shines where beauty lies.

So heed this call, oh editor true, Your artistry makes dreams come through. A seamless flow, a perfect cast, Let's upload these, make them last!

Poem 2:

User:Grunpfnul, hear this earnest plea, Guiding images for all to see. Through gentle hands and sharpened sight, You weave the dark and bring forth light.

Two visions wait with longing grace, To find their home, their rightful place. A whispered touch, a painter’s air, Their essence framed with tender care.

So heed this call, oh artist true, Your work makes dreams and colors bloom. With flawless flow and crafted cast, Let’s raise them high—let beauty last!

Nicotine salts are salts formed from nicotine and an acid.[1] They are found naturally in tobacco leaves.[2] Research on nicotine salts is limited.[3] Possible health risks of persistent inhalation of high levels of nicotine salts are not known.[3]

The International Agency for Research on Cancer does not consider nicotine to be a carcinogen, though several studies demonstrate it is carcinogenic.[4] Due to its small molecular size, nicotine can easily pass through epithelial cells, where it induces its carcinogenic effects by suppressing DNA repair mechanisms and causing DNA damage.[5]

A conjugated nicotine base and a weak acid such as benzoic acid or levulinic acid is used to create a nicotine salt.[1] The speed of nicotine salts uptake into the body with the use of electronic cigarettes is close to the speed of nicotine uptake from traditional cigarettes.[6] Nicotine salts are less harsh and less bitter, and as a consequence e-liquids that contain nicotine salts are more tolerable even with high nicotine concentrations.[7]

The latest generation of e-cigarettes, "pod products," such as Juul, have the highest nicotine content (59 mg/mL), in protonated salt, rather than the free-base nicotine form found in earlier generations.[8] Advertisements state nicotine salt liquids contain two to 10 times more nicotine than those found in the majority of regular e-cigarette products.[9]

Health effects

Limited research

Research on nicotine salts is limited.[3] The effects of nicotine salt liquids is not well understood.[10] Possible health risks of persistent inhalation of high levels of nicotine salts are not known.[3]

Toxicology

Nicotine salts used for vaping permeates the cell membrane and induces cytotoxic effects.[11]

Nicotine carcinogenicity

Nicotine poses an array of health risks[4] such as the stimulation of cancer development and growth.[12] The International Agency for Research on Cancer does not consider nicotine to be a carcinogen, though several studies demonstrate it is carcinogenic.[4] Due to its small molecular size, nicotine can easily pass through epithelial cells, where it induces its carcinogenic effects by suppressing DNA repair mechanisms and causing DNA damage.[5]

Because it can form nitrosamine compounds (particularly N-Nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK)) through a conversion process, nicotine itself exhibits a strong potential for causing cancer.[13] About 10% of breathed in nicotine is estimated to convert to these nitrosamine compounds.[13] Nitrosamine carcinogenicity is thought to be a result of enhanced DNA methylation and may lead to an agonist response on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which acts to encourage tumors to grow, stay alive, and penetrate into neighboring tissues.[13]

Lung effects

A 2021 study suggested that protonated nicotine is more likely to result in acute lung damage, as this is the form that binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (which activate inflammatory immune responses) lining the lung epithelium.[14] These receptors are also expressed on macrophages; accordingly, alveolar macrophage production of inflammatory cytokines is enhanced in the presence of nicotine-containing e-cigarette aerosol condensate compared to nicotine-free e-cigarette aerosol condensate.[14]

Brain effects

See also: Effects of electronic cigarettes on human brain development

"Juul products use nicotine salts, which can lead to much more available nicotine," Principal Deputy Director Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated in September 2019.[15] She also stated that the nicotine salts "cross the blood brain barrier and lead to potentially more effect on the developing brain in adolescents."[15]

Types

A nicotine base and a weak acid such as benzoic acid or levulinic acid is used to form a nicotine salt.[1] Across a sample of 23 nicotine salts available for public purchase in 2019, the three most common acids used in the formation of nicotine salts were lactic acid, benzoic acid and levulinic acid.[16] Benzoic acid is the most used acid to create a nicotine salt.[7] Nicotine pyruvate is another form of nicotine salt.[17] A chemical reaction with a pyruvic acid is used to aerosolize nicotine.[18]

Level and rate of delivery

Nicotine salts used in later-generation vaping devices may also have altered pharmacodynamics and acute effects relative to e-liquids containing free-base nicotine (conventionally used in e-liquids).[14] For instance, a 2021 study found that nicotine salt-based e-liquid had a more acidic pH (protonated) relative to more basic conventional (unprotonated) e-liquid; they postulated that this reduces systemic bioavailability because protonated nicotine has poorer membrane permeability.[14]

A free-base nicotine solution with an acid reduces the pH, which makes it possible to provide higher levels of nicotine without irritating the throat.[19] Nicotine salts are thought to amplify the level and rate of nicotine delivery to the user.[3] The speed of nicotine salts uptake into the body with the use of electronic cigarettes is close to the speed of nicotine uptake from traditional cigarettes.[6] Traditional cigarettes provide high levels of nicotine, but with the undesirable taste of smoking.[9] Pod mods, however, can provide the high levels of nicotine without the negative smoking experience.[9] Nicotine pouches also use nicotine salts.[20]

Nicotine salts are less harsh and less bitter, and as a consequence e-liquids that contain nicotine salts are more tolerable even with high nicotine concentrations.[7] Nicotine salts in aerosol form do not generate the sensation of irritation in the chest and lungs that regular cigarettes do.[6] Protonated nicotine salt is easier for less experienced users to inhale.[8]

Table shows the comparison of toxic metal concentrations in aerosols from different pods and devices on the basis of type of nicotine salt.[21]

Brands

The latest generation of e-cigarettes, "pod products," such as Juul, have the highest nicotine content (59 mg/mL), in protonated salt, rather than the free-base nicotine form found in earlier generations.[8] In June 2015, Juul introduced a pod mod device containing nicotine salt.[22] British American Tobacco stated that they have been using nicotine salts in their US Vuse e-liquid brand since 2012.[23]

Nicotine salts are more tolerable to the lungs when inhaled, leading to delivery of higher concentrations of nicotine.[24] It is possible that users of these products would get even more nicotine than from a traditional tobacco cigarette.[24] For this reason as well as their small compact design, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of Juul, particularly by youth, since their introduction in June 2015 to the market.[24] There has been a proliferation of pod-based products with high nicotine concentration, triggered by Juul's financial success.[7] As of September 2018, there were no less than 39 similar Juul devices as well as 15 Juul-compatible pods being offered.[7] Tested show that the pod mods Juul, Bo, Phix, and Suorin contain nicotine salts in a solution with propylene glycol and glycerin.[3]

Building on their initial success of disposable devices offered in a multitude of flavors in 2019, Puff Bar added a range of flavored pods named Puff Krush.[25] Disposable Elf Bar e-cigarettes can contain as high as 20 mg/ml (2%) of liquid nicotine salts one can obtain in the UK.[26] In 2022, Elf Bars has gained popularity among never-smoking college students in the UK.[26]

Regulation

See also: Regulation of electronic cigarettes

In the UK, the maximum nicotine concentration allowed by law for an e-cigarette or refillable liquid is 20 mg/ml.[27]

Marketing

Advertisements state nicotine salt liquids contain two to 10 times more nicotine than those found in the majority of regular e-cigarette products.[9]

Other names

Nicotine salt solutions are also known as salt nic.[20]
