I'd be even more curious to see if it holds true for people who vape, since vape juice tends to have very little in it besides nicotine, polyethylene glycol, and flavoring.
- grawprog 5y agoI wonder if the form of nicotine would make a difference. Many brands of cigarettes use a tobacco that's been 'enhanced' with freebase nicotine to increase addictiveness among other things but others do not and the amount of freebase nicotine varies wildly between brands. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3990-crack-nicotine-in-cigarettes-varies-widely/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3990-crack-nicotine-i... and vape juice comes in both freebase form and salt form. https://www.ruthlessvapor.com/blogs/ruthless-e-liquid/nicotine-salt-vs-freebase-why-nicotine-salt-is-the-new-craze https://www.ruthlessvapor.com/blogs/ruthless-e-liquid/nicoti... Nicotine in a freebase form is absorbed more quickly into our bodies and in higher concentrations that nicotine in salt form.
- Rastonbury 5y agoFor vaping, those with nic salts are way more concentrated (used in Juul)
- grawprog 5y agoYes, they're more concentrated because in salt form our brains don't absorb as much of it. Like the difference between doing a bump of coke and a hit of crack. You gotta do a lot of coke to get the same high.
