Primary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Time t [AUC(0-t)]

    Time frame: 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.

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration [Cmaximum (Max)]

    Time frame: 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 outcomes

  1. AUC [0-infinity (Inf)]

    Time frame: 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.

  2. Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Nicotine Concentration (Tmax)

    Time frame: 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.

  3. Apparent Elimination Half-life of Nicotine T(1/2)

    Time frame: 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.

  4. Elimination Rate Constant for Plasma Nicotine: K (el)

    Time frame: 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.
