Nicotine alone is not addictive, neither in NRTs nor e-cigarettes. <br />And something else is wrong. Any user of nicotine enjoys nicotine to his/her individual pleasure level. Then there is enough nicotine available to occupy any free space on acetylcholine receptors. It is a steady state. Some nicotine molecules more or less won`t make a difference. And I would really like to see this study repeated ... starting from the steady state.

The peek nicotine level is about the same as that 50 minutes after a cigarette, just the time you are thinking about having another. Is this intentional? It's probably the most profitable way of selling the gum. Pouched snus, which I sometimes use (I don't know now whether shipments have been stopped - after the complaints of a Finnish cancer charity. Oh, the cruel irony), is way above that level after 120 minutes. I've got off a plane and forgotten about having a cigarette.
