Well now, let me tell ya a bit about nicotine, how much ya should have in a day, and what’s too much. Now, don’t go thinking it’s all easy, ‘cause it’s really a bit tricky to get just the right amount. You see, if you’re somebody who uses nicotine, whether it’s from a cigarette, e-cigarette, or even them fancy lozenges or gum, ya gotta be careful. Too much can be dangerous, and that’s what we’re gonna talk about here.
First off, they say if you weigh about 150 pounds, like a grown adult, you shouldn’t be takin’ more than 50 to 60 milligrams of nicotine a day. That’s about what the CDC says. Now, don’t panic, ‘cause not every person is the same, and some folks might handle a bit more, but that’s the rough guideline to keep things safe. But, lemme tell ya, if you keep goin’ over that, ya might start feelin’ sick—dizzy, sick to your stomach, and worse. And in some rare cases, it could even be deadly. So don’t go messin’ around too much with it.
Now, for the average person, like a regular fella weighin’ about 70 kilograms, they say ya shouldn’t go over 0.3 milligrams of nicotine per kilogram of your body weight. So, for a 70 kg person, that means about 7 pieces of them nicotine pods or whatever they’re called in a day. But if ya really wanna play it safe and avoid gettin’ hooked, they say try to keep it under 5 milligrams a day. That’s like a max, ‘cause anything more than that, you might start gettin’ addicted.
But hey, I know some folks smoke a lot more than that. Young people, for example, sometimes they can smoke up to 30 cigarettes a day, but if you wanna lower your chances of gettin’ addicted, each cigarette shouldn’t have more than 0.17 milligrams of nicotine. It’s a way of makin’ cigarettes less addictive. But who wants to smoke that many anyway? I say it’s better to cut back.
Now, let’s talk about nicotine gum and lozenges. They got all sorts of kinds, with doses of 1 milligram, 1.5 milligrams, or even 2 milligrams. If you’re using ‘em, they say you shouldn’t chew more than one piece at a time, and no more than 24 pieces in a day. That’s a lot of gum! But the thing is, if you’re usin’ it, don’t go drinking coffee or soda while ya do it. Them drinks mess with the way your body absorbs the nicotine. If you’re using lozenges, it’s the same deal. Don’t chew ‘em all at once, and don’t swallow ‘em too fast!
If you’re someone who uses them fancy e-cigarettes, or “vapes” as the young folk call it, ya gotta be mindful too. There’s a limit to how many cartridges you should use in a day. The rule of thumb is no more than 16 of them cartridges a day. If you smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, you’re probably gonna need to use a bit more, but be sure not to go overboard.
Now, I’m sure there’s some of ya out there wonderin’, “How do I know if I’m usin’ too much?” Well, simple as pie—if you start feelin’ dizzy, sick, or like your heart is racin’, you’ve probably had enough for the day. A little bit of nicotine ain’t too bad, but it’s best to stay in that sweet spot where you’re gettin’ what ya need, but not too much.
So, to sum it all up, if ya weigh around 150 pounds, don’t go past 50 to 60 milligrams a day. And if you’re smokin’, aim to keep your nicotine dose below 5 milligrams a day to avoid gettin’ hooked. If you’re using gum or lozenges, stick to the rules on how much ya can chew. And if you’re vaping, stick to the limit of 16 cartridges. Just keep it in moderation, and you’ll be alright.
Remember, it ain’t about gettin’ as much as you can. It’s about doin’ it safe and not goin’ overboard. And hey, if you can quit, well, that’s even better!
