Abstract

A fast-dissolving film to be placed in the oral cavity of a person includes nicotine, or nicotine analog, with or without menthol, or menthol analog, that can be absorbed through the oral mucosa directly into the person's bloodstream for the purpose of reducing a temporary craving for nicotine during periods when smoking is not possible, or for therapeutic purposes, the film being thin and made from a low-moisture, non-tacky material that becomes dissolved when hydrated and that is sized so that the substrate can be placed in oral cavities of persons. From 0.1 mg to 10 mg nicotine, or a nicotine analog, and, optionally, from 1 wt% to 10 wt% of menthol, or a menthol analog, are added to the substrate, which is then packaged in a flat, sealed container that can be unobtrusively placed into a pocket earned by the smoker, thereby making the container readily accessible to the smoker.

However, relatively few succeed....
