Research teams at Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, have developed a new, disruptive drug delivery platform called "DehydraTECH™ that changes the way APIs enter the body via oral consumption. Lexaria's patented delivery method could give the estimated 69 percent of U.S. adult smokers who say they want to quit a new way to do just that. Utilizing Lexaria's DehydraTECH™ technology to formulate edible products containing nicotine and/or its analogues for this purpose offers unique advantages to the consumer. The company's newly issued U.S. patent award covers the use of DehydraTECH™ technology as a broad delivery platform for a broad range of APIs, including all cannabinoids, fat soluble vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications ("NSAIDs"), and nicotine (http://nnw.fm/Do3iO).

The FDA's recent proposal to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes to non-addictive levels bodes well for companies like Lexaria whose patented technology clearly supports the effort. Almost 90 percent of adult smokers started smoking before the age of 18 and nearly 2,500 youth smoke their first cigarette every day in the U.S., and the FDA's comprehensive plan for tobacco and nicotine regulation will serve as a multiyear roadmap to better protect children and significantly reduce tobacco-related disease and death (http://nnw.fm/2SUkk). Lowering nicotine levels could decrease the likelihood that future generations become addicted to cigarettes and allow more currently addicted smokers to quit.
