Nicotine Sensitivity

Nicotine sensitivity refers to how strongly an individual reacts to nicotine, the addictive substance found in tobacco. Some people experience intense effects like rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or nausea even at low doses, indicating high sensitivity. Others may need much more nicotine to feel similar effects, showing lower sensitivity. This variation is influenced by genetics, age, and overall health. Understanding your sensitivity can help manage risks, such as addiction or adverse reactions, especially if using nicotine products like cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or patches.
