I 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.

and vape juice comes in both freebase form and salt form.

Nicotine in a freebase form is absorbed more quickly into our bodies and in higher concentrations that nicotine in salt form.
- Rastonbury 6y agoFor vaping, those with nic salts are way more concentrated (used in Juul)
- grawprog 6y 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.
