Abstract
THE nicotine content of tobacco varies between wide limits, depending on the species studied. With the view of estimating the nicotine content in tobacco species grown in India, particularly in those of low nicotine content obtained in grafting experiments, a rapid semi-micro method of distillation followed by a spectrophotometric method of estimation have been developed.
