Tag: Vaping vs smoking

While some manufacturers suggest that 10-15 vape puffs equate to a single cigarette, studies show that comparing nicotine intake from vaping and smoking is complex due to various factors. The number of hits of a vape that is equal to 20 cigarettes depends heavily on the device, e-liquid strength, and user behavior.

On average, a single cigarette contains between 10 and 12 mg of nicotine, but some can contain as much as 28 mg [1.2.1, 1.2.2]. Answering **how much nicotine is in one cigarette** is complex, as the amount absorbed by the body is far less than the total content.
