exo just posted this in the "Experiments" section. Found it interesting and thought provoking:
"Yes, also there's the question of how quickly the nic. on the membranes gets to the blood stream,
found this snus vs ciggie investigation, which definately raises some other questions as well:
Nicotine uptake - Swedish Match
Quote:
The prolonged elimination <from the body> of nicotine in snus users has been attributed to continued
absorption of nicotine released from the mucous membrane or to absorption of nicotine that has been swallowed
i.e. there's a load of nic. held up in the membranes, being released more slowly than for ciggie smoke in lungs.
Also interesting, maybe more suitable for a snus-forum discussion:
Quote:
These results show that snus users do not compensate their nicotine uptake upon switching to a snus with lower nicotine content
Implying snus users don't self-titrate nic. intake like smokers (or vapers) ?"
