When smoking a cigarette nicotine enters the body, it is distributed quickly through the bloodstream and can cross the blood-brain barrier. On average it takes about seven seconds for the substance to reach the brain when inhaled. The half life of nicotine in the body is around two hours.The amount of nicotine inhaled with tobacco smoke is a fraction of the amount contained in the tobacco leaves. The amount of nicotine absorbed by the body from smoking depends on many factors, including the type of tobacco, whether the smoke is inhaled, and whether a filter is used. For chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco and snuff, which are held in the mouth between the lip and gum, or taken in the nose, the amount released into the body tends to be much greater than smoked tobacco.

But how long does it take for the e-cig nicotine to hit the system.
its far longer than a cigarette thats for sure.
this is why we over use it.because the effects are drastically slower acting,more like (NRT) patches in effect.
Does any body know how long from inhale to absorption the nicotine takes in an e-cig ?

). And so is Kit. What I mean is that inhalation is going to introduce the nicotine at the same rate whether it's a standard cigarette or an e-cigarette. The difference, as Dusty pointed out, is that a cigarette is going to provide a much higher nicotine density level than an e-cig will. It's basically the same principal as to why 'Light' cigarettes are really no better for you than Regulars; your body still wants the same amount of nicotine, so to compensate, you simply wind up smoking more.
...Macfan correctly answer that one...I'm impressed....
