Question 1

i had quit smoking, i smoked 10 cigs in 1 day. can i pass a nicotine/metabolite blood test 4 days later?

Accepted Answer

You should: Am not aware of people preferring blood tests to urine tests for cotinine, particularly since it can be found in blood only for a few hours after smoking, while it persists in urine for several days.  In any case, testing should be negative 4 days later.  More important than passing the test is actually quitting smoking, and taking care of your health.  Please quit and stay quit!

Question 2

could nicotine cause tia?

Accepted Answer

Tobacco use and CVA: Tobacco use makes atherosclerosis worse and may lead to transient ischemic attack due to vascular lesions in the blood vessels in the brain.

Question 3

what amount nicotine is too mich?

Accepted Answer

How about any??: There is no safe amount of nicotine, mainly because the data show that an individual who smokes more than 7 cigarettes in their life has a 90% chance of becoming a regular smoker. There are people who will smoke one or two cigarettes on a rare basis, and it is unlikely that that causes serious harm (unless they have asthma or unusual sensitivity). Even 1-2 cigarettes per day increases health risks.

Question 4

are vaper pens bad for u if its 3% nicotine  in it?

Accepted Answer

Controversial: These devices deliver nicotine to satisfy that addition without the additional factor of toxic tars and other chemicals which can cause serious problems.  Vapor pens are a good transitional device to get away from this addiction altogether.  The long term effects are not known since these are new on the market.

Question 5

is nicotine poison?

Accepted Answer

In Kids: Nicotine is known to be very addictive. It is largely found in tobacco plants. It can be acquired through smoking and chewing. It can also be obtained through second-hand smoke. But aside from the common dangers of excessive exposure to nicotine, it can also cause nicotine poisoning.

Who are prone to nicotine poisoning?

Smokers are found to be prone to various health problems associated to smoking and chewing tobacco. Despite this, they are not that prone to nicotine poisoning. Many of the victims of such poisoning are children since they have low tolerance to such dangerous drug. It has been reported that most of the victims of poisoning are children who are exposed to tobacco, cigarette, nicotine gum, or patches.

Question 6

can nicotine be ototoxic?

Accepted Answer

No: several studies, albeit in animals, have found no evidence that nicotine, even in high doses or when administered chronically, had any ototoxic effect on either vestibular (balance) or cochlear (hearing) function.

Question 7

is non nicotine e liquid bad?

Accepted Answer

Nobody knows: There are zero studies of e-cigs, and nobody knows what they will do, even with no nicotine.  Nicotine is not the cause of cancer anyway - it is the complex hydrocarbons (tars) in the smoke. It is likely that e-cigs will prove safer than smoked cigarettes, but again, nobody really knows. The propellant in these gadgets is propylene glycol, and nobody knows what inhaling them, or the oils, will do.

Question 8

how can nicotine inhalers work?

Accepted Answer

Why wouldn't they: Nicotine is inhaled with every cigarette someone smoke, but it comes together with carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and a host of organic "tars" which cause cancer etc.  Nicotine inhalers have purified nicotine with a measured amount per spray, and work a little faster than nicotine gum or lozenges to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms and help people stop smoking.

Question 9

does nicotine show in your blood?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking!: Nicotine is best identified on a quantitative urine toxicology specific for nicotine.

Question 10

how much nicotine is in cigarettes?

Accepted Answer

Nicotine: About 1 - 2 mg. per cigarette is absorbed into the bloodstream. Nicotine is a stimulant and addicting. It increases blood pressure and heart rate. It does nothing good for your health.
