One of the common misconceptions among the general public is that nicotine is not a natural product. This is largely due to the number of additives used in the production of cigarettes and other forms of tobacco. However, nicotine itself is a plant-based product.
Natural nicotine is a chemical found in a number of common plants. This includes tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants, and tobacco, all members of the Solanaceae family. These plants are also commonly referred to as being in the nightshade family.
Producing Natural Nicotine
Nicotine can be extracted from plants to produce a clear liquid that has no natural color. It has a slightly peppery or bitter taste. This nicotine base is used in creating tobacco-free alternatives such as e-liquid for vaping.
The same natural nicotine can also be used in manufacturing smoking cessation products. These include lozenges, gums, and patches that provide a specific amount of nicotine for the user. Over time, the choice of nicotine level can be adjusted, gradually reducing the amount until the individual no longer has cravings.
Quality Production
Manufacturers of tobacco substitutes or smoking cessation products focus on quality control when producing the nicotine base. This ensures a consistent end product that meets international safety requirements for regulatory and quality standards.
It is important for a manufacturer to select a cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) manufacturing facility. Regular product testing throughout the manufacturing process through an independent Quality Assurance section and regular in-house testing are two other factors to consider when choosing a supplier.
