Nicotine manipulation
{{#badges:Tobaccowiki}} Nicotine manipulation refers to the ways in which nicotine, or the delivery of nicotine to the smoker, are altered. Nicotine is manipulated through various means, including genetic alteration of tobacco plants, adjustment of smoke pH (for example using freebasing), manipulation of sugars in tobacco or the use of additives to enhance nicotine's effects.[1][2] Goals of nicotine manipulation include enhancement of the physical motivation for smoking, bolstering the long-term use of cigarettes (addiction maintenance), prevention of smoking cessation and improvement, and maintenance of "satisfaction of the consumer."[3]
