Understanding Ammonia in Cigarettes
Ammonia is a common chemical used in various industrial processes. In the context of cigarette production, ammonia is employed to enhance the addictive qualities of nicotine. This process, known as "freebasing," alters the pH levels of tobacco smoke, leading to a higher concentration of freebase nicotine. Freebase nicotine is more readily absorbed into the bloodstream, providing a quicker, more intense nicotine hit. This manipulation significantly increases the addictive potential of cigarettes.
