A little light on your cigarette!
- The nicotine content in a cigarette can vary greatly from one brand to the next.
- A single cigarette may contain about 6 mg to 28 mg 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.
- However, this means that for a pack of 20 cigarettes, you’ll likely inhale between 22 to 36 mg of nicotine.
Your body absorbs nicotine very quickly. Once you inhale, the nicotine goes from your lungs into your bloodstream and right to your brain in a matter of seconds.
