A method and apparatus for comfortably, rapidly, and inexpensively collecting a sample from one or more test subjects and analyzing it, singly or pooled with other samples, for presence of SARS-CoV-2. Saliva, nasal drainage, or other body fluids may be collected from one or more test subjects and examined by means of fluorimetry. Mass rapid screening for SARS-CoV-2 is a valuable public health tool to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 while permitting business activity to resume.

Method and apparatus for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2

A method of aiding in the reduction of the incidence of tobacco smoking which comprises, in one embodiment, the application of a nicotine containing dermally applicable patch such that the nicotine in the patch is allowed to transdermally migrate into the bloodstream at a rate sufficient to correspond to the nicotine level in the blood achieved by tobacco smoking. Simultaneously therewith, the method involves the oral application of a low concentration nicotine aerosol spray having a selected droplet size and selected concentration of nicotine. In another embodiment, the invention resides in the use of the transdermal application of nicotine alone and in a further embodiment, the method resides in the use of the low concentration nicotine aerosol spray alone. Further, a device for applying the low dose nicotine aerosol spray is also provided.

Method for aiding in the reduction of incidence of tobacco smoking

A method and a composition for aiding in the reduction of the incidence of tobacco smoking which comprises a method of administering a nicotine containing aerosol spray to the oral cavity of an individual to provide a stimulation to the respiratory tract of the smoker, somewhat similar to that provided by normal tobacco smoke. The method also comprises a composition of a low concentration nicotine aerosol spray in which the spray droplets have a size and a range of between about one micron to about ten microns in diameter and which spray preferably contains nicotine in an amount of about 0.005 miligrams to about 0.03 miligrams per inhilation.

Method and apparatus for aiding in the reduction of incidence of tobacco

A method of aiding in the reduction of incidence of tobacco smoking. The method comprises applying a patch containing nicotine to the skin of a person with whom smoking reduction is desired and allowing the nicotine to transdermally migrate into the person's bloodstream to achieve a desired systemic nicotine level. The method also comprises the simultaneous administration of a nicotine containing aerosol spray to the oral cavity of the user in order to provide the desired sensations in the respiratory tract to which the user is accustomed from normal tobacco smoke. A combination of the spray and transdermal patch is also provided such that an occlusive patch is applied to the skin of the person with whom smoking reduction is desired and the nicotine containing aerosol spray is delivered to the oral cavity simultaneously with the application of the nicotine from the patch.
