A chemical analysis of smokeless tobacco products to determine quantities of N’-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), a known tobacco product carcinogen, can aid FDA in the review and assessment of product reports that include this reporting requirement. This project will measure NNN quantities and moisture levels in 35 smokeless tobacco products currently marketed in the U.S. using a validated testing method. (Project completed in 2015.)
