The aim of the following study is to determine the particle sizes of smokeless tobacco forms and thereby evaluate the degree of diffusion of the products using an egg shell membrane as a natural substrate by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particle size of smokeless tobacco forms namely mawa...
