A study by an American research team has shown that cigarettes sold in the United States, marketed as tobacco-free, contain a synthetic nicotine analog called 6-methylnicotine and high levels of CBD, highlighting new regulatory loopholes.

In a recent study, American experts examined Choice™ brand cigarettes sold as tobacco-free in U.S. online and physical stores. Analysis performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry confirmed that the products do not contain significant amounts of traditional tobacco or nicotine; however, they were found to contain the synthetic nicotine analog 6-methylnicotine in quantities of approximately 455–484 µg per cigarette. Additionally, the study showed that the cigarettes contain significant amounts of cannabidiol (CBD), suggesting that the plant-based filler is derived from hemp.

Researchers pointed out that products containing such synthetic nicotine analogs may be able to circumvent existing tobacco and nicotine regulations. Since 6-methylnicotine may be more potent than traditional nicotine, experts are calling for urgent legislative and regulatory action to prevent the bypassing of smoking bans, taxation, age restrictions, and flavor bans.

**In brief**

- A synthetic analog called 6-methylnicotine was found in cigarettes sold as tobacco-free on the U.S. market.
- The products also contain high concentrations of CBD, indicating the presence of hemp-based filler.
- The presence of 6-methylnicotine threatens existing tobacco and nicotine regulations, as well as taxation and age-limit requirements.
