It is a ridiculous thing, and fit for a satire to persons of judgment, to see what shifts these formalists have, and what prospectives to make superficies to seem body, that hath depth and bulk. I speak of the north shore of Tahoe, where one can count the scales on a trout at a depth of a hundred and eighty feet.
Cigarettes and other forms of tobaccoâincluding cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, and chewing tobaccoâcontain the addictive drug nicotine. Nicotine is readily absorbed into the bloodstream when a tobacco product is chewed, inhaled, or smoked. A typical smoker will take 10 puffs on a cigarette over the period of about 5 minutes that the cigarette is lit. Thus, a person who smokes about 1 pack (25 cigarettes) daily gets 250 âhitsâ of nicotine each day.
Smoking will deliver the nicotine into the lungs. It then enters the bloodstream through the skin or mucous membranes in the mouth, nose and lungs. Nicotine can transfuse into the blood stream and within 20 seconds of inhalation, it will be transported throughout the body and into the brain.
