Abstract

In recent years the WHO has taken a number of restrictions on tobacco crop farming. Nicotine has been shown to cause inversion. There is no evidence of the limit of nicotine uptake leading to dependence. The FDA announced it is taking steps to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes. In previous studies, we found that switching nicotine from tobacco to tobacco smoke does not follow the expected trend “higher nicotine content in tobacco - higher values of nicotine in tobacco smoke”. We have found that switching nicotine from tobacco to tobacco smoke to Oriental tobaccos grown in different Balkan countries is in a very wide range. This requires differentiated country and quality study studies. The aim of the research is to reveal the passage of nicotine at a certain level of quality of Bulgarian oriental tobaccos. Based on standardized methods for data analysis and processing, we have proven that it is only foreseeable to switch to tobacco growing in typical ecotype conditions.
