Cigarettes and other forms of tobaccoâincluding cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, and chewing tobaccoâcontain the addictive drug nicotine. Nicotine is readily absorbed into the bloodstream when a tobacco product is chewed, inhaled, or smoked. A typical smoker will take 10 puffs on a cigarette over the period of about 5 minutes that the cigarette is lit. Thus, a person who smokes about 1 pack (25 cigarettes) daily gets 250 âhitsâ of nicotine each day.
