Abstract
Nicotine is the main active component of tobacco. Its quantification in aerosols and particularly the amount delivered in lungs is of great interest to track its impact on health. Current detection methods rely on the use of mass spectroscopy coupled with liquid chromatography. However, this requires highly qualified personnel and expensive equipment. In this context, we demonstrated that Molecular Imprinted Polymers (MIP) as sensing layer deposited on electrodes are very efficient to allow fast and cheaper quantification of nicotine in aerosols.
