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.

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.

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.

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.]

How long does nicotine last when bound with water?
Q. Apparently soaking tobacco in water extracts the nicotine. How long does the nicotine last before it starts decomposing?
Asked by inkdot - Tue Apr 15 06:51:32 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The four nicotine-alkaloids exist in combination in tobacco chiefly as malates and citrates. If you only soak the leaves with water you`ll extract these stable (!) salts. If you want to extract the free base nicotine you have to treat the aqueous extract of tobacco by distillation with slaked lime, the distillate being acidified with oxalic acid, concentrated to a syrup and decomposed by potash. The free base is extracted by ether and fractionated in a current of hydrogen. This free base is very hygroscopic, dissolves readily in water, and rapidly undergoes oxidation on exposure to air. The only published half-life period of nicotine is 40-60 minutes for decomposition in human bodies.

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.

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.

A. Drink lots of water and tea helped for me, relaxed me. Also do some exercises routines especially when you're craving for a smoke. Do things to keep yourself busy. Take it easy, talk to people around you, perhaps they won't try and stress you out. Also this was without any nicotine replacement. So you can do it. Remeber smoking is NOT an option and you're mind won't even have that temptation as much. Good luck : )

How quickly is Nicotine depleted from the body?
Q. I have to take a urine sample for insurance purposes. How quickly does nicotine get out of the body? I smoke about 8-10 cigarettes a day

A. it takes about 48 hours depending upon how heavily you smoke. You can always wear a nictoine patch and tell them you are quitting, then quit.
