This stomps on the old "seven second relief" theory. Interesting. And if it's true, it bodes well for users of snus and disssolvables, with their slower-but-steady nicotine uptake.
I think there is a period of adjustment for some, but a transition from cigs to snus is far easier than any other, and nicotine blood levels can be found and balanced in a short time. I'm still doing well with multiple alternatives for addiction and e-smoking for the habit.
Love this:
Philip Morris, the Big tobacco company that funded this research, is trying to market the Aria, a mist inhaler that doesn't resemble any cigarette. What's funny is that PG tests in the early '40s found that vapor, not mist, was the superior way to deliver content to the lungs.
Hey PM, why don't you just market electronic cigarettes? Keep trying to buy Ruyan. It's the future of smoking, you know.

I stumbled on this paper just this morning. It's in the PNAS "open access" category, so here's a link to the full paper:

I have to say, there seems to be a lot to be learned about smoking/vaping/nicotine/etc., be you a smoker/vaper/pro/anti/nico-nazi/whatever.

Hi Bob, I think that part of the relief an analog smoker feels comes from knowing that a dose is on the way. Anticipating the raising of the nicotine level to an acceptable amount in the blood and doing its' MAO inhibiting thing.
But they still don't look beyond nicotine! There couldn't possibly be anything else that makes a smoker smoke. Why do they think BT spent all the money/years engineering the things?
