nikotiiniallikatega

Nikotiiniallikatega refers to products that contain nicotine but are not traditional combustible cigarettes. This category encompasses a range of items designed to deliver nicotine to the user through various means.

One common type of nikotiiniallikatega are electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), often referred to as e-cigarettes or vapes. These devices heat a liquid containing nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavorings, producing an aerosol that is inhaled. The concentration of nicotine in these liquids can vary widely, allowing users to adjust their intake.

Another category includes heated tobacco products (HTPs). These devices warm tobacco leaves to a temperature below combustion, releasing nicotine and other flavor compounds without producing smoke. The user inhales the resulting vapor.

Nicotine pouches are also considered nikotiiniallikatega. These are small, pre-portioned pouches containing nicotine, plant-based fibers, and flavorings. They are placed under the lip, and nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa. Unlike traditional chewing tobacco, they do not require spitting.

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products, such as nicotine gum, lozenges, and patches, are also sources of nicotine. While primarily intended to aid smoking cessation, they deliver nicotine in a controlled manner without combustion. The availability and regulation of nikotiiniallikatega vary significantly across different countries and regions.
