Gas chromatography - mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry were used to measure the organic and elemental content in dokah, a Middle-Eastern tobacco product that is not regulated in the United States.  Dokha is sold in three strengths, cool, medium, and hot which are advertised to correlate with the "buzz" that one is to experience from smoking each type.  This is believed to be due to the nicotine which is reported to be 5 times greater than that contained in regular cigarette tobacco.  Our study reports on the nicotine content measured in dokha from three origins as well as the differentiation of each dokah origin based on elemental content.<br/><br/> <br/>
