Question 1

can nicotine chewing gum damage your liver?  is milk thistle pills with cholin, completely safe to take for liver health?

Accepted Answer

Rather safe: Nicotine isn't a particularly concerning chemical in liver disease.  If you have to choose your "ills" nicotine gum is safer than smoking cigarettes. Milk thistle, which is often combined with choline, is also relatively well tolerated.  It does have some side effects mostly benign gastrointestinal upset(which even a sugar pill can cause).If you don't have liver disease is less clear of a benefit

Question 2

does nicotine gum hurt liver?

Accepted Answer

Nicotine gum: Nicotine gum can constrict blood vessels, and long-term use has been associated with gum disease, although rare.

Question 3

can 'vaping' (e-cigerettes) with nicotine in a propylene glycol solution cause elevated liver enzymes. not sure if nicotine has an effect on liver? ty

Accepted Answer

No: Nicotine has no adverse effect upon the liver unless you had a major overdose which only happens with the administration of large doses of nicotine. These doses cannot be met by smoking or vaping. Propylene glycol won't cause problems either. I would worry about chronic lung damage and nicotine addiction. If your liver enzymes are elevated, your doctor needs to find out the reason.

Question 4

i just had a blood test for vitamin, iron levels and kidney and liver. i smoked 2% nicotine yesterday in the after noon and i wanted to know if the nicotine will show up in the blood test?

Accepted Answer

: Blood testing is specific to what they are looking for. Each target of testing adds equipment cost and technician time. There are no universal blood tests that tell everything in it. That said, the time for a simple nicotine exposure to be gone from the blood is around 8 hours. Chances are they would not test for nicotine and if it was done 8 hours after intake they would not find it anyway.

Question 5

got heartburn and vomit suddenly of both alcohole and snus/nicotine. sudden intoleranse, after i had burning pain in upper abdomen. before the burning pain i never had any problems. can liver, gallbladder or pancreatic disease cause this?

Accepted Answer

: This is more characteristic of irritation/inflammation of the stomach lining ( gastritis). If you weren't experiencing upper abdominal distress leading up to this episode your symptoms may be short-lived. Abstain from alcohol,nicotine, excess caffeine, spicy foods &amp; take omeprazole or famotidine for a week. If symptoms don't resolve, consult your physician or a gastroenterologist for evaluation.

Question 6

how long does it take for the nicotine of one cigarette to leave your body?

Accepted Answer

Each cigarette : Contains about 1 mg of nicotine, and its half-life is about 2 hrs. It also is multicompartmental, meaning it can be "accumulated" in adipose tissue, detoxified to cotinine by cytochrome p-450 enzymes, so eliminaion entrely can be complicated by the direct half life, and then the leeching from the fat cells. It's complicated!

Question 7

how long does it take for nicotine to leave your body (urine and blood stream) after you've stop smoking?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Nicotine metabolism is complex. Most nicotine is metabolized in the body to co-nicotine, and this is what is tested for. Nictotine is 1/2 gone after 2 hours, co-nicotine about 20.  It takes about 5 1/2 lives for a drug to be "97% gone".   10 half lives for 99.9%  another source says a urine test can be positive 7 to 20 days after smoking.

Question 8

what are the signs of nicotine withrawal on body and how long it will it take?

Accepted Answer

10-12 weeks: It is normally taken at least 10-14 weeks before a person starts to feel comfortable with their new lifestyle change. Most are completely gone in six months. Quitting smoking is the single best thing you can do to improve your health and quality of life. Congratulation!

Question 9

how long does your body take to get rid of nicotine in ypur system?

Accepted Answer

Couple of days: Depends somewhat on how heavy a smoker you were, how deeply you inhaled and held the cigarette, and the nicotine content of the tobacco you were using, but in general urinary cotinine (the metabolite of nicotine) becomes negative within 2-3 days after cessation.

Question 10
