The world's largest electronic cigarette manufacturer, SMOORE, has announced the launch of the world's first real-time monitoring research project on nicotine addiction.
The vaporization process between e-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes is vastly different, resulting in distinct physical and chemical properties obtained from vaporization and tobacco combustion, respectively.
Electronic cigarette company, SMOORE, has partnered with the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) to undertake a new research project aimed at exploring ways to significantly reduce the nicotine strength in electronic cigarette products and ultimately lower it to non-addictive levels.
Under the direction of Nobel laureate Dr. Erwin Neher, the Neher Laboratory for Neural Plasticity in Shenzhen is the sixth laboratory in Shenzhen named after a Nobel laureate and the first dedicated to neuroscience. The laboratory focuses on researching the human brain and aims to better understand the mechanisms behind diseases and addictions through the use of the latest advanced techniques in modern neuroscience.
This joint study will investigate the secretion and metabolism of dopamine in the brains of animals, and use the data gathered to simulate the human brain state when nicotine is consumed. The laboratory will conduct controlled experiments by exposing test subjects to aerosol environments created by FEELM vaporization and combustion of tobacco.
The project aims to reduce the nicotine intake and subsequent dependence in adult e-cigarette users. This study will also assist SMOORE's research and development team in enhancing the design of e-cigarette devices by improving efficiency through modifying heating elements and atomizers to enhance the vaping experience.
Researchers involved in the project will monitor the aerosolization of e-liquid to gain a better understanding of nicotine absorption, distribution, metabolism in the human body. Additionally, the study will investigate how nicotine is absorbed by different organs to reveal the sensory satisfaction of e-cigarettes.
Dr. Xiong Yuming, Vice President of SMOORE Shenzhen Institute of Basic Research, stated that...
The process of vaporization between electronic cigarettes and combustible cigarettes is vastly different. Therefore, the physical and chemical properties obtained from vaporization and tobacco burning are also completely different. Our study focuses on the potential mechanisms of vaporization and tobacco burning, with the aim of exploring the delivery and absorption of nicotine to reduce the impact of these products on health.
This project is being supported by Southwest University in Chongqing, China. A phased report is expected to be released in the second half of 2022, which will outline the different effects of nicotine on the brain in electronic cigarettes and combustible tobacco products. This joint study on nicotine dependency aims to put an end to global nicotine addiction. Looking towards the future, FEELM aims to provide products that do not lead to nicotine dependency by reducing nicotine levels as close to zero as possible without compromising satisfaction.
