A nicotine preparation for use in combination with dispensing devices for the non-pyrolytic transmission of nicotine characterized in that there is: a. nicotine; b. an acid for modifying the pH of the preparation; c. a complexing substance which forms a new moiety with said nicotine, and d. a carrier material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 50 words
A nicotine preparation for use in combination with dispensing devices for the non-pyrolytic transmission of nicotine characterized in that there is: a. nicotine; b. an acid for modifying the pH of the preparation; c. a complexing substance which forms a new moiety with said nicotine, and d. a carrier material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
The preparation of claim 1 characterized in that said nicotine is selected from a group consisting of: nicotine (d), nicotine (1), nicotine (dl), and nicotine salts.
