Ah, so basically, about 20 times less than an average smoker (compared to your calculated average), and about 4-5 times less for the peak days, if I'm calculating correctly? That is, assuming a 1-pack-a-day smoker of a 0.6mg / cigarette brand ... Okay, I guess - I wish you the best of luck, and your usage seems well controlled. Though, the withdrawal I went through when I quit - I wouldn't wish it to my worst enemy. So I hope you don't mind if I say "be careful" (even though I can already see that you are :)

IIRC, the effective dose of a smoker is going to be both quantitatively larger due to more efficient absorption through the lungs and also qualitatively different due to the much faster absorption. Also, I should mention that in the experiment, half the days were placebos, so that's at least 5 pieces of gum which were allowed to dry out, reducing the average a little bit.
