WHAT IS NICOTINE?

• Nicotine is an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants such as tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, and tobacco.

• Nicotine is a highly addictive substance and one of the main reasons why cigarettes are difficult to quit.

• Nicotine is considered a stimulant but also works to relax a person as well.

• Many people wrongly assume that nicotine is what causes cancer in cigarettes but it’s the tar and other additives in cigarettes that have carcinogenic properties when inhaled. Nicotine is highly addictive, but there are no scientific studies to support that nicotine causes cancer.

WHAT IS NICOTINE USED FOR?

• To help smokers quit, nicotine is used in nicotine gum, nicotine inhalers, nicotine patches, and e-liquid.

• Quitting cigarettes cold turkey is difficult due to strong nicotine cravings.

• Nicotine is used in vape juices and other nicotine replacement therapies to aid people in quitting cigarettes. Many people vape to get the smoking sensation as well as getting nicotine in a less harmful manner.

Because nicotine in vape juice is used as a quitting aid, 0 nic vape juice is also available. It can be used as the last step to lowering your nicotine intake for good.

HOW DOES NICOTINE AFFECT THE VAPING EXPERIENCE?

• Vaping nicotine can come in different levels such as 0 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg, and 12 mg.

• Not all vape juices contain nicotine as you can order 0 mg nicotine e-juices if you were to quit nicotine but still keep the smoking sensation.

• The higher the nicotine levels, the harsher the throat hit. Nicotine has a peppery taste and can make the flavor harsher.

• There are two kinds of nicotine: freebase nicotine and nicotine salts.

• Freebase nicotine is also referred to as regular nicotine and is the most commonly found in 0 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg, and 12 mg.

• Nicotine salts are relatively new and what makes them different from regular nicotine (freebase) is that vapers can vape at higher nicotine strengths without getting the
  harsh taste as you would with freebase nicotine. It is the closest vaping experience that delivers nicotine as a cigarette would.

• Nicotine salts also are known as nic salts. Nic salts are commonly found in the 25 - 50 mg nicotine strengths.

• All e-juice bottles are required to be child-proofed to avoid children from drinking e-juice bottles Nicotine overdose in children can be fatal.

There is one thing I do not agree with:

Vaping nicotine can come in different levels such as 0 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg, and 12 mg.

Um.....nope. If it's 0 mg then nicotine is not present at all. It should read:

Vaping nicotine can come in different levels such as 3 mg, 6 mg, and 12 mg.
