Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Time t [AUC(0-t)]Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours

AUC(0-t) was evaluated using the trapezoid rule.

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration [Cmaximum (Max)]Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours

Cmax was depicted from plasma concentration of nicotine.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AUC [0-infinity (Inf)]Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours

AUC (0-inf) was evaluated using the trapezoid rule.

Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Nicotine Concentration (Tmax)Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours

Tmax was time at which Cmax of nicotine was reached.

Apparent Elimination Half-life of Nicotine T(1/2)Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours

T(1/2) was calculated using plasma time-concentration values.

Elimination Rate Constant for Plasma Nicotine: K (el)Blood samples taken pre-dose and post-dose at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours

Kel was calculated with the help of plasma time concentration values.
