Nornicotine is an alkaloid found in various plants including Nicotiana, the tobacco plant.^[1] It is chemically similar to nicotine, but does not contain a methyl group.

It is a precursor to the carcinogen N-nitrosonornicotine that is produced during the curing and processing of tobacco.^[2] Nornicotine can react in human saliva to form N-nitrosonornicotine,^[3] a known type 1 carcinogen.^[4]
