How about edible nicotine?

This company is working on a way to deliver nicotine through the digestive system without irritation. They're also working on a better trans-dermal (skin patch) system for nic, cannabinoids, vitamins... Cool science.

People have been using the flavorings we use for DIY to make Nicotine candies according to some threads.

Do you remember... the diy nicotine candy thread I made using lorann's flavorings... ??

What that company is currently testing is a little more sophisticated than adding the nic we use to various edibles.

A familiar cast of characters lobbied the FDA against this product:

Nicorette gum beat them to it as far as digestive nicotine by 30 years, came out in 1978. Yucky stuff. Patches? nothing new here...

I ingested some of my NicSelect Nicotine just before when I forgot to power on my MOD~! Coil was sitting for a while with a full tank so I got a few drops in my mouth.

And much more costly + taxed and regulated.

I really don't see an upside.

Lack of liver metabolization, lack of interaction with the digestive tract, molecular purity, ability to target very specific compounds. Think "pharmaceutical." I'm sure big tobacco has an eye out for the results.

with GMO grains and soybean, there's enough stress on our GI tract as it is..if not outrught destruction of the GI tract...I'm alittle skeptical this is harmless .they say the same thing about GMOs despite the overwhelming proof to the contrary

If you're interested, I'll keep an eye out for their research results & try to remember to link it here. I don't think "harmless" is a word any pharma company would use.

Oh, they actually do use the word "safe" in this press release:

Smoky Blue · Mar 17, 2018

I hate to say it... but safe isn't good either.. there is nothing "safe"....

wonder what or who they are testing on... animals...

I am thinking "pharmaceutical". It's become a dirty word for a reason.
