What Are Nicotine Salts?

In the leaves of the tobacco plant resides a natural form of nicotine known as nicotine salts. Several manufacturers extract these salts from the plant and incorporate them into the e-liquids used in vapes. If you are an adult who smokes or vapes, you have likely heard about these products.

But, what exactly are nicotine salts? In this article, we will explore what they are and what they are used for. Keep reading to find out!

Some adults who vape prefer nicotine salts over other e-liquids because they tend to be more chemically stable, resulting in a longer expiration date.

It is crucial to bear in mind that vapes, regardless of the type of nicotine used, come with risks and typically contain addictive nicotine.

E-liquids with nicotine salts are compatible with various types of vapes, although the use of a low-power device, such as a pod system, is preferably suggested.

While some adult vapers may attempt to create their own liquids with nicotine salts, this practice is not advisable. DIY e-liquid manufacturing can pose risks. When vaping, it is essential to use only manufacturer-approved e-liquids compatible with the device used, thereby avoiding potential complications.

For adult smokers unsure about which e-liquid is right for them, there are other smoke-free alternatives available.

Tobacco heating devices, like IQOS, heat tobacco instead of burning it. While the best thing any adult smoker is to quit smoking altogether, IQOS is a better alternative than continuing to smoke. In fact, on average, IQOS ILUMA emits 95% fewer levels of chemicals compared to cigarettes.*

It is important to note that IQOS is not risk-free and contains addictive nicotine. IQOS is not an alternative to quitting smoking and is not designed as a smoking cessation aid. The best decision any adult smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.
