[edit] Description
Ariva is a dissolvable tobacco tablet shaped like a tic-tac; the tablets contains 1.5 grams of nicotine which is absorbed into the blood by placing the tablet in between the upper gum and cheek. Ariva is smokeless, spitless and available in wintergreen and java flavors. Even though Ariva is shaped, and packaged like a candy, the product is marketed as a smoking cessation product.
[edit] Claims
- Ariva is an odor-free, mess-free, spit-free, smoke-free, tobacco product that you can use anywhere discreetly.[1]
- Star Scientific INC. has developed up a non-chemical tobacco curing technology, StarCured™, that interferes with the formation of tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) that occurs in traditional curing methods. We market dissolvable hard smokeless tobacco products made with tobacco that is 100% Virginia StarCured® tobacco, with TSNA levels that we believe are the lowest anywhere in the world.[2]
