Briefly explain the metabolism of nicotine by smokeless tobacco.
Nicotine is directly absorbed through the gingiva and oral mucous membranes. Once the quid is placed in the mouth, the amount of nicotine absorbed is two to three times the amount delivered by a cigarette. Nicotine concentration declines over 2 hours. Smokeless tobacco users experience nicotine blood plasma levels similar to the nicotine blood levels of smokers. Most juice produced by smokeless tobacco is spit out. Juice that is intentionally and/or accidentally swallowed by the user is absorbed through the blood vessels lining the small intestine.

many chemicals are contained in passive smoke, including the same carcinogenic compounds as those in mainstream smoke.

Briefly explain the metabolism of nicotine by smoking.
nicotine enters the lungs and quickly passes into arterial circulation by way of blood vessels lining the sacs of the bronchi. Nicotine is delivered efficiently to the brain by the bloodstream in less than 20 seconds. It is metabolized in the liver into cotinine. Cotinine concentrations in the blood, urine, and saliva are used to assess (a) whether a person uses tobacco, (b) if so, to what extent, and (c) the level of exposure of nonsmokers to passive or environmental smoke. Peak plasma concentration of nicotine occurs approximately 10 minutes after the onset of smoking and rapidly declines over the next 20 to 30 minutes. Nicotine is spread to all body tissues. The smallest amounts of nicotine from tobacco smoke (one puff) will remain in the body for 8 to 12 hours.
