Abstract
Chewing gum which is a substitute for tobacco smoke, formed into three 3 g strips, characterized in that each strip contains not more than 25 wt % of a gum base and not more than 0.4 mg of nicotine dispersed in the gum base. The invention provides a nicotine-containing gum which simulates cigarette smoking (by providing a level of nicotine retention in the blood and saliva very similar in intensity and duration to that due to cigarette smoking), without accompanying problems with respect to unpleasant taste, poor chewing characteristics and undesirable side-effects.
