Detailed explanation-1: -Nicotine. Although nicotine is a very addictive substance it’s relatively harmless. It’s the carbon monoxide, tar and other toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke that will cause serious damage to your health. Clean forms of nicotine are licensed to help smokers quit.
Detailed explanation-2: -The average cigarette contains about 10 to 12 mg of nicotine. You don’t inhale every milligram of nicotine as it burns. You’ll probably inhale about 1.1 to 1.8 mg of nicotine by the end of each cigarette. This means that for a pack of 20 cigarettes, you’ll likely inhale between 22 to 36 mg of nicotine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The combination of acetaldehyde and nicotine appears to be more addictive than nicotine alone. The addition of sugars may thus increase the addictive nature of tobacco products.
