Q. what is nicotine and some effects of the drug? and also the withdrawals and dangers of abuse? *trust me im not taking drugs

A. Nicotine is an addictive alkaloid found predominately in tobacco plants. Its addictive effects are profound - nicotine addiction is one of the hardest to break. Physiologically, nicotine causes a short-term increase in blood pressure, heart rate and the flow of blood from the heart. It also causes the arteries to narrow. The American Heart Association lists the following symtoms of withdrawal: - irritability - impatience - hostility - anxiety - depressed mood - difficulty concentrating - restlessness - decreased heart rate - increased appetite or weight gain Hope this helps (and glad you're not taking drugs). Best wishes!

How much nicotine do you get from smoking a cigarette?
Q. If Malboro Light has .6 mgs of nicotine, how much of that would the average smoker inhale? The cigarette isn't constantly being inhaled. Does changing to a lower nicotine brand, such as one with .1 mgs of nicotine help to ween a person off nicotine?
Asked by Rob F - Thu Jun 28 22:10:02 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is a proven fact that every smoker inhales a different amount of nicotine, depending on the way that individual inhales. "Lights" aren't really always lighter because they have "lowered tar and nicotine." You could smoke a full flavored cigarette differently and it would have less, depending on the person's smoking habits. (Some people breath in deeper or hold the smoke in longer.) Don't smoke; it'll drag you down.

What is the percentage composition of nicotine?
Q. Here it is. Nicotine is a compound that contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. If a 2.5 g sample of nicotine is burned in oxygen, 6.78 g of carbon dioxide, 1.94 g of water and 0.432 of nitrogen are the products of combustion. What is the percentage composition of nicotine? Guys, I really need your help on this. I m not good in chemistry and I know some of you are. Thanks.

A. if nicotine contains C,H and O we can write a formula like this : CxHyOz ---> CO2 + H2O + N2 moles of CO2 gained = 6.78g/ 44 g/mol = o.154 mol so thr mst b 0.154 mol of C moles of H2O = 1.94g / 18 g/mol = 0.108 mol so thr mst b 0.216 mol of H moles of N2 =0.432g/ 28 g/mol = 0.0154 mol so thr mst b 0.0308 mol of N moles of O must be; 0.154*2 + 0.108 =0.416 mol c h o n num f moles 0.154 0.216 0.416 0.0154 devide by the smallest number (0.0154) 10 14 27 1 therefore the composition of nicotine must be as follows; C10 H14 O27 N <<>>

What are the harmful physical effects of inhaled nicotine sans tobacco?
Q. I am asking this because I recently bought an electronic cigarette, which is basically a nicotine vaporizer. I have not been able to find anything conclusive on the physical harms of nicotine-only products. I know that most stimulants have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system, and that pure nicotine is toxic at high(er) doses, but what about >30mg/day? I have been using the product with decreasing concentrations of nicotine solution to wean off of tobacco addiction. Links to appropriate studies are appreciated.

A. Go with the FDA's analysis. Here it is: Here's the bottom line: The FDA hasn't finished its analysis of the effects of Electronic Cigarettes. It has analyzed the contents. There are some compounds in the electronic cigarettes they have identified as harmful. But! And here is the big but that the FDA hasn't addressed! Are the compounds in high enough concentrations to actually have a detrimental effect? The FDA is silent on this. Tests are ongoing. I will continue updates and news becomes available because I blog all about electronic cigarettes and electronic smoking.

Nicotine bill passed?How is this going to affect the general smoking population?
Q. I am not completely aware of what passing this bill is supposed to do. Is it the amount of nicotine that they're trying to cut down or the sell of cigarettes to minors,which is illegal already?And how do you think this is going to affect the majority of smokers?Will this bill make a difference or none at all?I guess the smaller amounts of nicotine are supposed to gradually ween them of off cigarettes all together.What's your opinion?

How can you clean nicotine off of unwashable stuffed animals?
Q. Remember Teddy Rexspin? Well, I have the Sesame Street talking characters and they are horribly yellowed with nicotine. How can I clean them?
Asked by freebird_46349 - Mon Dec 7 19:21:43 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Stuffed animals can potentially fill many roles in your household, from a child's best friend to an important piece of a collection. Keeping these plush toys clean can present a bit of a challenge, as they usually don't do too well in water. Cigarette smoke travels through the air in your home and settles on any available surface. If someone has smoked around these soft toys, the stains and odor will linger. Use a few household items and a dose of caution to remove these ugly stains. Step 1 Dip a clean cloth in white vinegar. Step 2 Rub the stained area with the cloth to remove the stain. Gently wipe down the entire stuffed animal with the vinegar-soaked cloth to help kill off any odors and germs. Step 3 Set the stuffed animal outside… [cont.]

A. I would check the Internet to be precise. Go to any search engine like yahoo for example. Type in nicotine, go into the website and check to see if you can get a precise explanation about how long it stays in your system. Also try typing www.uritox.com this site sells nicotine screen test for personal use. When you get in this site look on the left side of the page scroll down and click on nicotine. Some site that sell drug screening test give you an explanation about the drug and how long it stays in your system. Good luck.

A. Your spine surgery comes first - it your doctor told you not to smoke, then don't smoke. The doctor told you not to smoke for a reason, likely because the nicotine may pose some threat to your successful recovery, or put you at risk for complications.

Asked by shadow - Tue Nov 11 21:15:06 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. It's not just the nicotine that the doctor wants to clear although nicotine raises heart rate,blood pressure, its effects also lowers resistance to infection. It is important for the lungs to get an opportunity to clear some of the gunk that tobacco leaves behind like the tar. Your hubby is going to have to have a general anesthetic and a machine will be breathing for him. It is urgent that his lungs be in good shape for this. For you to try to enable him to keep smoking longer than he should by asking this question is very strange. If you are a smoker, you need to quit smoking around him because second hand smoke can still cause problems for him.

Asked by net s - Thu Aug 28 11:12:50 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. nicotine makes a nice complex with tartric acid. You can put crushed tobacco leaves in a solution of sodium hydroxide and do a steam distillation. Take the distillate and mixed it with a solution of tartric acid and the precipitate should be nicotine tartrate. You can acidify the tartrate and distill/extract the nicotine out. However, the simplest way is to buy commercial nicotine (which will contain some yellowish nicotine oxide) and purify the commercial nicotine with silica gel chromatography.

How long does nicotine stay in the bloodstream?
Q. I have a blood test tomorrow at 4:00 PM and smoked a cigarette yesterday at about 7:30 PM. Will there be nicotine in my system? I only had one, and I smoke sparingly since I "quit" about 3 weeks ago.
Asked by lexa - Wed Oct 8 12:00:31 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Nicotine has a half life of about 2 hours. That means it will take 2 hours for half of it to go away. For example, let's say you had 100 mg of nicotine in your blood. Two hours after the nicotine was put into your body, you will have 50 mg left. After another 2 hours, you'll have 25 mg left. Another 2 hours, it will be down to 12.5 mg. Etc etc. So no, it shouldn't be in the bloodstream tomorrow.
