Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an aerosolisable formulation, a method of forming the same, a container containing the same, a device containing the same and processes and uses of the same.
  • Electronic aerosol provision systems such as e-cigarettes generally contain a reservoir of liquid which is to be vaporised, typically containing nicotine.
  • a heater is activated to vaporise a small amount of liquid, which is therefore inhaled by the user.
  • Aerosols from e-cigarettes and smoke from tobacco products such as cigarettes provides to the user a complex chain of flavour in the mouth, nicotine absorption in the mouth and throat, followed by nicotine absorption in the lungs.
  • Nicotine contributes to a number of these factors, and is strongly associated with factors such as impact, irritation and smoothness; these are readily perceived by consumers, and e-cigarettes may offer too much or too little of these parameters for consumers, depending upon individual preferences. Nicotine reward is particularly complex as it results from both the amount of and speed with which nicotine is absorbed from the lining of the mouth, this is typically nicotine in the vapour phase, and from the amount and speed nicotine that is absorbed from the lungs, this is typically nicotine in the particulate phase of the aerosol which is inhaled. Each of these factors, and their balance, can strongly contribute to consumer acceptability of an e- cigarette. Providing means to optimise the overall vaping experience is therefore desirable to e-cigarette manufacturers. A further challenge facing such systems is the continued demand for harm reduction. Harm from cigarette and e-cigarette devices primarily comes from toxicants. Therefore, there is a desire to reduce or remove the components which may form toxicants.
  • an aerosolisable formulation comprising
  • the nicotine is present in an amount of no greater than 1wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation.
  • a process for forming an aerosol comprising aerosolising an aerosolisable formulation comprising
  • the nicotine is present in an amount of no greater than 1wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation.
  • a contained aerosolisable formulation comprising
  • the nicotine is present in an amount of no greater than 1wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation.
  • an electronic aerosol provision system comprising:
  • a power supply comprising a cell or battery for supplying power to the aerosoliser
  • the nicotine is present in an amount of no greater than 1wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation.
  • an aerosolisable formulation comprising (i) water in an amount of at least 50 wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation; and (ii) nicotine; wherein the nicotine is present in an amount of no greater than 1wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation.
  • an advantageous system may be provided in which an aerosolisable formulation contains water in an amount of at least 50 wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation and contains nicotine in an amount of no greater than 1wt.% based on the aerosolisable formulation.
  • We have surprising found that in such a high water system, providing nicotine in a maximum amount of no greater than 1wt.% provides the optimum sensory perception for the user.
  • control of nicotine to this maximum amount provides a nicotine‘hit’ and/or sensory perception preferred by users.
  • This desirable nicotine ‘hit’ and/or flavour release is in contrast to ‘traditional’ e-liquids based on glycerol and propylene glycol which users sometimes do not use because of perceived differences in respect of nicotine‘hit’ and/or flavour release provided by tobacco based cigarettes.
  • water-based system may be provided in which aerosolised formulation is formed from an aerosolisable formulation at a low temperature. This is in contrast to‘traditional’ e-cigarettes which use a heater, typically applied to liquids based on glycerol and propylene glycol to form an aerosolised formulation.
  • a heater typically applied to liquids based on glycerol and propylene glycol to form an aerosolised formulation.
  • the provision of such a system and the avoidance of heating may address problems of the prior art relating to the formation of toxicants. More specifically, we have identified a water-based system which, by selection of a very high water content delivers desirable nicotine‘hit’ and/or flavour release but avoids the need to use the heaters associated with prior liquids based on glycerol and propylene glycol.
  • the number of components present may be reduced leading to less chance of forming breakdown products/toxicants.
  • the use of water allows for the replacement of some or all of the glycerol, propylene glycol, 1 ,3-propane diol and mixtures thereof typically used in e-cigarettes.

  • Nicotine 3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl) pyridine
