Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Any surgical or medical condition including abnormal salivation (also pharmaceutically induced), or history thereof, which, in the judgment of the Investigator, might interfere with the absorption of the IP or may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, influence the results, or the subject’s ability to participate in the study 2. Any clinically significant illness in the 28 days prior to the first IP administration 3. A history or presence of untreated diagnosed hypertension or any cardiovascular disease 4. Female subject currently breast feeding, pregnant or planning to get pregnant during the study 5.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Extracted dose of nicotine from each portion is measured by using GC-MS analysis and calculated by subtracting the residual amount after use from the mean of 10 unused portions. Used portions are freezed after dosing and analysis using GC-MS is performed at the end of the trial.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. The extracted dose of flavor components are measured using GC-MS analysis and calculated by subtracting the residual amount after use from the mean of 10 unused portions. Used portions are freezed after dosing and analysis using GC-MS is performed at the end of the study 2. Self-report of potential adverse events (AEs, frequency, intensity and seriousness) measured throughout the study
