Study on controlling nicotine release from snus by the SIPN membranes

Snus is one of the types of smokeless tobaccos, which is popular in many countries and regions. The nicotine level in the plasma samples obtained from snus users is similar to the nicotine level obtained from cigarette smokers; hence, the snus users find it difficult to quit. The aim of this study i...
