Historically, the tobacco industry has exploited loopholes in the Tobacco Control Act (TCA), especially related to the definitions of nicotine, tobacco product and characterizing flavors, to circumvent the PMTA requirement. In 2023, the industry introduced several 'PMTA-exempt' e-cigarette and smokeless products, including products containing 6-methyl nicotine, a synthetic nicotine analog that is pharmacologically more potent than nicotine. In late 2023 and early 2024, the major US e-cigarette suppliers Nicotine River and ECBlend introduced 'PMTA-exempt' products with the brand names 'Nixamide' or 'Nixodine' or 'Nixotine', with nicotinamide as the main active ingredient. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 with no known pharmacological activity at nicotinic receptors. Here, we report that the marketing claims for these products, suggesting them and be nicotine substitute products designed to target nicotinic receptors and provide the same experience as nicotine, is deceptive and misleading to consumers.
