Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2022128470A1] A method for adjusting the nicotine content of an aerosol in an inhaler, comprising the following steps: - a feed step, in which at least one liquid having a first nicotine content is fed from a vaporiser reservoir to an electric vaporiser, - a vaporisation step, in which the at least one liquid is vaporised, producing an aerosol, - a discharging step, in which a final aerosol, consisting of the amalgamation of all aerosols formed in the inhaler from the at least one liquid, is discharged from the inhaler to a user, wherein at least one of the at least one liquid has a precursor substance, which can be converted into nicotine by chemical reaction, and the method further comprising a nicotine production step, in which the precursor substance is converted into nicotine by chemical reaction such that the final aerosol has a second nicotine content which is higher than the first nicotine content, makes it possible for an increased blood nicotine concentration to be achievable compared to that using conventional liquids, and in so doing complies with the provisions of 2014/40/EU at the same time.
