Researchers have found a new way to deliver nicotine into the lungs. Traditional nicotine inhalers actually deliver the nicotine through the lining in the mouth and throat, thereby delivering smaller amounts of nicotine. The new method mixes nicotine with pyruvic acid, which occurs naturally in the body.
“We wanted to replicate the experience of smoking without incurring the dangers associated with cigarettes, and we wanted to do so more effectively than the nicotine replacement therapies currently on the market,” said Jed Rose, Ph.D., director of the Duke Center for Nicotine and Smoking Cessation Research where the technology is being developed.
All great if you still wish to be addicted to nicotine, albeit without the cigarettes. For real freedom quit nicotine too.
