That's a pretty low dose for a daily basis. A single cigarette varies a lot on how much nicotine it has but on average it's around ~12mg and most smokers probably don't smoke a single cigarette a day so 6-8mg is quite low.
- unmole 4y agoSure, but smokers shouldn't be the baseline for what is healthy behaviour.
- kragen 4y agoThe absorbed dose from a cigarette is closer to 2mg, so 6–8mg is 3–4 cigarettes per day. That's an order of magnitude down from the dosage of heavy smokers, who smoke multiple packs (of 20 cigarettes) per day. But it's not the half-cigarette's worth you're suggesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine Nicotine patches are probably a less addictive option than gum, but gum itself is much less addictive than smoking.
