A member asked:
Can spitting frequently while smoking a cigar (non-inhaling) significantly decrease the amount of nicotine that diffuses through my mouth ?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not really : The nicotine is absorbed through oral mucous membranes on puffing. Spitting makes no difference.

Nicotine Absorption: It is absorbed through buccal mucosa primarily, so not sure that spitting will make a big difference.
