Abstract: At least one example embodiment relates to a chewing gum. In at least one example embodiment, the chewing gum comprises a gum base polymer and oil. The gum base polymer includes polyvinyl acetate (PVA) in an amount ranging from 35 weight percent to 55 weight percent of the chewing gum. The oil is present in an amount greater than 8 weight percent of the chewing gum. The oil includes a triglyceride, triacetin, and nicotine or a nicotine derivative. The triglyceride is present in an amount greater than or equal to 5 weight percent of the chewing gum. At least one example embodiment relates to a method of preparing a controlled-release nicotine chewing gum.

Abstract: A melt-blown fabric for pouching smokeless tobacco or a smokeless tobacco substitute can include melt-blown polymer fibers. The fabric can have a basis weight of less than 30 gsm and a tensile strength of at least 4 mJ in at least one predetermined direction. Method of making the fabric can include melt-blowing a polymeric material against a support surface and bonding the fibers or arranging them in a predetermined orientation. Pouched smokeless tobacco or tobacco substitute products including the fabrics provided herein can provide desirable flavor and tactile experience.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a nicotine gum may include a first pair of drums configured to receive and press a nicotine gum mixture to a first thickness so as to form a first pressed sheet and a second pair of drums configured to receive and score the first pressed sheet so as to form a scored sheet including a plurality of gum pieces. The second pair of drums may include a first drum having a first die with a first pattern and a second drum having a second die with a second pattern. The second pattern may be a mirror image of the first pattern. The first drum and the second drum may be spaced such that as the first pressed sheet passes between the first drum and the second drum, the first die and the second die at least score the first pressed sheet.
