The distinctive buzz from cigar smoking is a complex interplay of nicotine absorption and physiological responses. Let’s explore why cigars create this sensation and how to manage it effectively.
Cigars deliver significant amounts of nicotine through the oral mucosa, even without inhaling the smoke. A single full-size cigar can contain as much tobacco as an entire pack of cigarettes, with nicotine content ranging from 100 to 444 milligrams.
The pH of cigar smoke is notably alkaline, allowing efficient nicotine absorption through the oral and nasal mucosa. This absorption mechanism means cigar smokers can experience substantial nicotine effects without deep inhalation, similar to how smokeless tobacco products work.
