Data are presented as geometric mean (geometric coefficient of variation) for Cmax and AUC0–6h; median (min, max) for Tmax; and mean (SD) for T1/2

N/A not applicable, Cmax maximum plasma nicotine concentration, AUC0–6h area under the plasma nicotine concentration–time curve between 0 and 6 h, Tmax time of maximum plasma nicotine concentration, T1/2 half-life of plasma nicotine decay, n number of subjects

aEight study periods were excluded for T1/2 due to the lack of a linear fit in the elimination phase
