Tag: Nicotine buzz

According to research, nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds of entering the body, triggering a cascade of neurochemical reactions that create a buzz of pleasure and energy. So, do you get a rush from nicotine, and what does this sensation feel like? The experience is highly dependent on a variety of factors, from delivery method to individual tolerance.

According to the *Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry*, a single medium tomato contains an estimated 337 to 2,012 nanograms of nicotine, which is thousands of times less than the amount found in a single cigarette. This fact explains why you would need to consume an impossibly large quantity of tomatoes to even approach a physiologically noticeable dose of nicotine.
