I would if I could, if it could duplicate the hit of a cigarette. Somehow, I don't think that would work.

RustyLug: my friend, one of the reasons I prefer the 36 mg is that the nicotine strength weakens from light and heat. A bottle that says 36 may be much weaker after storage and shipping even from domestic sources. By the time it sits around my home, it's weaker still. I've never noticed the same 'hit' from 36 mg that I experience from even a light analogue cigarette. Does anybody else out there have the same experience?

I have emailed Dr. Chellappan, one of the authors of the article "Nicotine induces cell proliferation, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in a variety of human cancer cell lines" asking for an opinion as to how the research applies to non-smoking nicotine users. The article (which can be downloaded at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/j...TRY=1&SRETRY=0 stated that there is a dose-response relationship. Since blood levels of nicotine are typically lower in those get their nicotine from gum, lozenges, and inhalers, could they quantify the increased risk, if any. If I get a response, I will will post it here.
