Stubby: You did great! Accurate.
A cigarette can contain 10mg or more nicotine, but you don't get anywhere near that amount in your bloodstream by smoking. Much of it blows away in sidestream smoke. In the end, you get about 1mg to 2mg of nicotine from a regular cigarette. With a 20% figure for snus, an 8mg snus -- like a Camel Snus -- gives me roughly the same nicotine as a smoked Camel.
Absorption is a slower delivery method than inhalation, however, so there's no kick, as there is with inhaling tobacco smoke. But I manage to maintain a very level amount of nicotine in my blood, mixing e-smoking, snus, dissolvables and nasal snuff.
