Preclinical study - early development rats exposed to saccharin (sweet):
✅increased nicotine intake
✅seeking of flavored solutions when paired with nicotine.

Suggesting childhood exposure to sweet flavors may heightened susceptibility to nicotine use

Pro tip: never say 'Nice to meet you!'—you'll end up saying it to someone you've already met (awkward). Say anything else, like 'Nice to see you!', 'Hey, you!', or 'Look who it is!' to cover up those memory gaps.

@GavinNewsom signed #AB3218 bill "Unflavored Tobacco List" that designates "cooling" sensation as a "characterizing flavor" & includes nicotine analogs into the definition of nicotine, closing two imp. loopholes in regulating flavored tobacco products https://t.co/04mGDFc8UN

Congratulations to our @BasicSRNT Co-Chair @DrJKhokhar receiving the 2024 CCNP Young Investigator Award.
Amazing and well deserved.

[Jibran Khokhar @DrJKhokhar]

It was an absolute honour to be a keynote speaker at @ccnp_ca #CCNP2024! Also grateful to CCNP and the award committee (@mueller_dj) for being named a co-recipient of the 2024 CCNP Young Investigator Award!

Latest News: Following California’s ban on flavoured tobacco products, at least one-third of respondents viewing the ads/packages for new non-menthol brand variants in this study expected each to have a minty or menthol taste, despite non-menthol descriptors featured on the packaging and ad copy. https://t.co/Hw0Fc04orL

@JAHA_AHA study in rats shows “nicotine-containing e-cigarettes adversely affect vascular function & left ventricle-arterial coupling, whereas standard cigarettes have an adverse effect on left ventricle function”

Nicotine analogs allow e-cigarette makers to avoid traditional tobacco product regulations. But data on their safety in humans are lacking https://t.co/r2vrupi1Bn

Thank you @bvanparidon for interviewing me for @sciam re: #NicotineAnalogues in e-cigs of unknown health risks & their regulatory implications.

Emergence of #NicotineAnalogues in vaping and oral pouch products in US, UK and EU markets to evade regulations. A @RoySocChem article.

[Chemistry World @ChemistryWorld]

Structural analogues of nicotine, which may or may not have similar biological effects, can be sold without FDA authorisation. Their health effects are largely unknown, and experts are worried.
