         2 . The nicotine-containing product of  claim 1 , wherein the ratio of anatabine to nicotine is greater than 10:90. 
     
     
         3 . The nicotine-containing product of  claim 1 , wherein the ratio of anatabine to nicotine is greater than 15:85. 
     
     
         4 . The nicotine-containing product of  claim 1 , wherein the nicotine is synthetic nicotine.
