tobacco nicotine

I know cigarettes and tobacco are very bad for your health and cause cancer. I want to know which tobacco product has the most nicotine. Cigarettes, dip, chewing tobacco, nicotine patches or nicotine gum. How much nicotine does 1 cigarettes have compared to a pinch of dip and others?

Dip is not the same as snuff, but anyways dip has more nicotine.
I have heard that a 2 can a week dipper gets more nicotine than a 1 pack a day smoker. I dont have scientific evidence supporting this, but this is what ive heard. I was addicted to that sh-t and cigarettes. I like dip better, but i would say dip is more addictive.

Sorry it took a day to load this. More rambling, scientific thoughts on nicotine in pipe tobacco.

In my biology class we did an experiment with the leaf of a lotus plant. We viewed it under a microscope and noticed that the chloroplasts were moving freely around the vacuole. We then were told to add nicotine to the slide and observe what would happen. The chloroplasts instantly stopped moving and bunched together. I was wondering what happens to the chloroplasts on a tobacco plant Nicotine is the tobacco plant's natural protection from being eaten by insects.? Any ideas?

The evolution of nicotine as a toxin also led to the simultaneous evolution of nicotine resistance.

The same reason antibiotic producing bacteria don't kill themselves.

I have to take a blood test for insurance and want to know how long I need not to smoke prior to the test. Does anyone have experience with this.

Okay, here's the thing...

General consensus is that it takes about 3 days for the nicotine to be out of your system. However, the problem you may face has to do with what kind of test they do. See, the blood of a smoker has a higher ratio of red blood cells to compensate for the oxygen loss due to smoking. If you quit smoking you may have dizziness or jitters and things like that due to the fact that your body is actually getting more oxygen. It takes a while for the amount of red blood cells to diminish to normal levels. I do know that the jitters takes like 1-2 weeks to go away. I am not sure when your RBC count goes back to normal. I am not sure they can get an accurate test for insurance but I would just quit as soon as possible. Go to Quitnet.com. It helped me.

My mom works at the hospital lab, and has brought home a urine test for me.

She plans on giving me the test Sunday night.

Will Alcohol and Nicotine/Tobacco show up, if i did it tonight and the test was Sunday?

No, alcohol is out of your system in a day. I don't think they test for tobacco, just narcotics(illegal drugs).

I have a life insurance exam scheduled in the next few weeks. I had smoked some cigars and cigarettes during a bachelor party not long ago. Should I postpone the medical exam? I am not a smoker and want the non smoker lower premium. Above that I do not want to be flagged for being one.

Most life insurance companies will ask if you've used any kind of tobacco in the past X months (usually 12 months). If you explain to them when and why you smoked they make give you the non smoker rate or make you pay the smoker rate for a year, retake the nicotine test and then lower you down to the nonsmoker rate.

I would advise you not to cover it up because I'll guarantee you that life insurance fraud is much worse than being branded a smoker. Pay the rate you can get now honestly and then after you've been nicotine free for another year then go back and apply for a cheaper rate. If you need the insurance you don't want to wait because you never know what might happen to you in the next year.
