Tart cranberries intertwine with luscious grapes, crafting a balanced and delightful vaping experience. With a slim and compact form factor, the ELF bar 600 vape pen measures in at 104mm in height with a 16mm diameter making it extremely portable. Easy to operate and maintain, it is powered by a simple inhale activation and has no fire button or fiddly settings. Nicotine in tobacco can form carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines through a nitrosation reaction. This occurs mostly in the curing and processing of tobacco. However, nicotine in the mouth and stomach can react to form N-nitrosonornicotine, [110] a known type 1 carcinogen, [111] suggesting that consumption of non-tobacco forms of nicotine may still play a role in carcinogenesis.

Nicotine is a secondary metabolite produced in a variety of plants in the family Solanaceae, most notably in tobacco Nicotiana tabacum, where it can be found at high concentrations of 0.5 to 7.5%. [173] Nicotine is also found in the leaves of other tobacco species, such as Nicotiana rustica (in amounts of 2–14%). Nicotine production is strongly induced in response to wounding as part of a jasmonate-dependent reaction. [174] Specialist insects on tobacco, such as the tobacco hornworm ( Manduca sexta), have a number of adaptations to the detoxification and even adaptive re-purposing of nicotine. [175] Nicotine is also found at low concentrations in the nectar of tobacco plants, where it may promote outcrossing by affecting the behavior of hummingbird pollinators. [176]

The initial symptoms of a nicotine overdose typically include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, abdominal pain, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), hypertension (high blood pressure), tachypnea (rapid breathing), headache, dizziness, pallor (pale skin), auditory or visual disturbances, and perspiration, followed shortly after by marked bradycardia (slow heart rate), bradypnea (slow breathing), and hypotension (low blood pressure). [41] An increased respiratory rate (i.e., tachypnea) is one of the primary signs of nicotine poisoning. [41] At sufficiently high doses, somnolence (sleepiness or drowsiness), confusion, syncope (loss of consciousness from fainting), shortness of breath, marked weakness, seizures, and coma may occur. [6] [41] Lethal nicotine poisoning rapidly produces seizures, and death– which may occur within minutes– is believed to be due to respiratory paralysis. [41] Toxicity [ edit ] The nicotine content of popular American-brand cigarettes has increased over time, and one study found that there was an average increase of 1.78% per year between the years of 1998 and 2005.

Nicotine is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes (mostly CYP2A6, and also by CYP2B6) and FMO3, which selectively metabolizes ( S)-nicotine. A major metabolite is cotinine. Other primary metabolites include nicotine N'-oxide, nornicotine, nicotine isomethonium ion, 2-hydroxynicotine and nicotine glucuronide. [147] Under some conditions, other substances may be formed such as myosmine. [148] [149] Nicotine is classified as a poison. [76] [77] However, at doses used by consumers, it presents little if any hazard to the user. [78] [79] [80] A 2018 Cochrane Collaboration review lists nine main adverse events related to nicotine replacement therapy: headache, dizziness/light-headedness, nausea/vomiting, gastro-intestinal symptoms, sleep/dream problems, non- ischemic palpitations and chest pain, skin reactions, oral/nasal reactions and hiccups. [81] Many of these were also common in the placebo group without nicotine. [81] Palpitations and chest pain were deemed "rare" and there was no evidence of an increased number of serious cardiac problems compared to the placebo group, even in people with established cardiac disease. [45] The common side effects from nicotine exposure are listed in the table below. Serious adverse events due to the use of nicotine replacement therapy are extremely rare. [45] At low amounts, it has a mild analgesic effect. [36] At sufficiently high doses, nicotine may result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, salivation, bradyarrhythmia, and possibly seizures, hypoventilation, and death.
