Tobacco-Free nicotine stick put to the test against cigarettes
NCT ID NCT07459712
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involved 24 adult smokers who used three different nicotine products: a tobacco-free nicotine stick, a heated tobacco stick, and regular cigarettes. Researchers measured how much nicotine entered the blood and how the body processed it. The goal was to understand the differences in nicotine delivery and effects, not to treat any disease.
