A new non-addictive tobacco created by German scientists could help eliminate smoking, according to NewScientist Daily.
A gene-edited tobacco plant has been created with the lowest ever nicotine level, taking the current 16 milligrams of nicotine in a gram of dry tobacco and reducing it to just 0.04 milligrams.
The researchers have said that low-nicotine cigarettes are just as dangerous to health as regular cigarettes due to other substances they contain but cutting out the nicotine could prevent people becoming addicted and help them give up smoking.
