In my experience it depends how the nicotine is consumed.I've smoked cigarettes, chewed, snuffed, vaped, and cigars.Snuff, chew, and cigars barely produce any addiction pattern for me, at all. Most days I will have a cigar, but not every day.Whereas cigarettes, and vape are highly addictive.From what i can see the primary difference is absorption of nicotine through mucus membrane vs alveoli. There's also the matter that chew, snuff, and cigars are essentially fermented tobacco, and cigarettes/vape are highly processed.
