Which is more harmful - Nicotine gum or cigarettes?

Answer 1

Both because they both have effects that can damage your body or brain


I would disagree with the above statement, Nicotine is no more harmful to your body than Caffeine and both are classed the same in addictiveness. LD50 Nicotine 50mg / Caffeine 192mg.

In any case Nicotine gum is FDA approved as a stop smoking plan and far safer than smoking.

Answer 2

Tar is a sticky black carcinogenic substance from which roads are made. It causes lung irritation if inhaled, for example by smoking tobacco. Nicotine is a stimuant (drug) which causes the heartbeat to speed up. This is also absorbed by smoking tobacco.

• tar is unburned organic residue, a sticky oily mess
• nicotine is the compound that is the active ingredient in tobacco

Answer 3

Tar is more dangerous. Nicotine just addicts you to the cigarette, but tar will damage your lungs.

Answer 4

chemicals
