Holding it in?

[madcow]

I was wondering, when you inhale vapor and then hold your breath to keep it in your lungs, does your body absorb more nicotine that way?

Nicotine is absorbed very rapidly by the body so it is unlikely that holding it long will do much for you, although holding it for a few seconds may increase the uptake of nicotine from your vapor by a small percentage.

I do not base this on personal experience, but I have read of a lot of people getting a better nicotine rush when exhaling out the nose. If this is the case, wouldn't that mean there is still some nicotine that does not get absorbed? I would assume there would have to be if you get a better rush from exhaling out your nose.
