Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE): Potential Application for Assessing the Use of Conventional and New Generation Tobacco and Nicotine Products by Scherer Gerhard, Pluym Nikola, Scherer Max

“…In a few studies, the minor tobacco alkaloid anabasine (AB) was measured in WW samples as a specific indicator for tobacco-containing products. The currently available results imply that AB in WW is decreasing faster over time than cotinine in WW does, suggesting that the use of tobacco products (mainly combustible cigarettes, CCs) is gradually replaced by tobacco-free nicotine products such as NRT products, ECs and others.…”
