Nicotine addictiveness seems to vary based on consumption method, I say that as someone who smokes cigars but doesn't inhale (common practice among cigar smokers), I don't find cigars addictive in the least.
- Konnstann 8y agohow do you smoke without inhaling the smoke? Genuinely curious, I thought the whole point was to inhale the smoke, otherwise you don't get any flavor.
- kgwgk 8y agoYou can taste wine and spit instead of swallowing, to give just one of many examples.
- dageshi 8y agoAhh by inhale I mean you don't inhale into your lungs, mouth only. You take the smoke into your mouth where you can taste it but continue to breath freely through your nose without taking any smoke down into your lungs. You do absorb nicotine through the lining of your mouth and it's not without risk, mouth cancer is a possibility but my understanding is it's a much lesser risk than smoke in the lungs. Finally you can retrohale where you allow some smoke to come up through the sinuses and out via the nose, which allows you to pickup some extra flavour.
