Objective: Tobacco snuffs a finely ground dark brown coloured powder obtained from dried pulverized leaves of tobacco plant Nicotianatabaccum is commonly used among Nigerians. Since the nickel content and its health implications are not known to have been studied, this study evaluates the presence of this heavy metal in some samples of tobacco snuff obtained from four geopolitical zones of Nigeria.Methods: The study was conducted using thirty samples of tobacco snuff obtained from different parts of Nigeria. The samples were tested for the presence of the heavy metal Nickel by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry.Results: All the samples contain the heavy metal nickel. Nickel concentration in the studied samples ranged from 0.0003–0.0011 μmol/...
