Nicotine in vapor vs smoke (they're not the same kind!)

[Piruz]

Interesting find for those who vape tobacco.

Basically when you burn tobacco, R-nicotine is generated, but when you vape it, it is not generated. Unfortunately this so-called R-nicotine is also something your body craves from smoking tobacco. Maybe that's what puts (tobacco) smokers off when they try vaping their baccy?

I think you misread this study. It looks like heating tobacco is comparable with slightly less R-nicotine. I also think you are mistaken about what nicotine is addictive as tobacco contains far more S-nicotine than R.

Honestly I wasn't assessing the study in any way I was just wondering if these different proportions of different kinds of nicotine might have an affect on the feeling of satisfaction in vaping tobacco vs smoking it. A guy who tried vaping tobacco in his DynaVap posted this when I asked him if he felt satisfied from vaping his whole tobacco leaves and this is what he said.
