Salts formed from nicotine and anion-forming sweeteners, for example acesulfame or acesulfame-K, in a molar ratio of 1:1 or 1:2, in which case the sweetener molecules can be identical or different, are distinguished by a pleasant sweet taste which masks the nicotine taste even after a long residence time in the mouth, and are therefore suitable for producing preparations, in particular chewing gum, chewing tablets or compressed compositions, which can be used for oral administration of nicotine, for example in withdrawal from smoking. |
