Tobacco Asia/InterTabac Podcast #9

Synthetic nicotine, used in new generation products, is produced in a lab and not from the tobacco plant itself, which - until now - provided a regulatory escape route for some products manufacturers. Now, FDA regulate e-cigarettes and similar products using synthetic nicotine the same as those using plant-derived nicotine. Our guest is George Cassels-Smith, the well known CEO of Tobacco Technologies (TTI) and also director of Zanoprima Lifesciences, a supplier of SynNic synthetic nicotine. He discusses the regulations, uses, and the future of synthetic nicotine.
