Assessing the nicotine content of smokeless tobacco products

K Tilashalski et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1994 May.

Abstract

The nicotine content of 11 popular brands of smokeless tobacco--including moist snuff, plug and loose-leaf chewing tobacco--was analyzed. In general, moist snuff has the highest nicotine content and loose-leaf chewing tobacco has the lowest, with plug tobacco falling in the middle. Variability in nicotine content may affect smokeless tobacco use and should be considered when studying usage as a variable for adverse effects of ST use.
