Nicotine aerosol rods were assessed for their possible usefulness as substitutes for cigarettes. Under standard FTC conditions, the per puff delivery of the aerosol rod averaged 0.3 micrograms nicotine/puff after 10 puffs and 6.4 micrograms nicotine/puff after 60 puffs. After puffing on the rods, no nicotine was detected in the plasma or urine of seven subjects.
