Why do smokers who smoke one pack a day have identical levels of nicotine in their blod at the end of the day regardless of whether they smoke a pack of high-nicotine cigarettes or low-nicotine cigarettes?

The correct answer should give us a reason that the difference between high-nicotine packs and low-nicotine packs might not lead to a difference in nicotine levels in blood at the end of the day for smokers who smoke one pack.

This establishes a ceiling for nicotine in one’s blood and that low-nicotine packs already lead to nicotine levels at that ceiling. High-nicotine packs have more nicotine, but won’t go above the ceiling of nicotine levels in people’s blood.

The statistic in the stimulus involves smokers who smoke just one pack a day. This controls for varying amounts of cigarettes.

Even if this is true, if low-nicotine packs have less nicotine overall, we would still expect less nicotine in their blood.

We have no reason to suspect the level of tar in cigarettes impacts the level of nicotine in one’s blood.

We’re concerned about nicotine levels after smoking. What happens to nicotine when people stop smoking doesn’t help explain the identical nicotine levels observed after smoking.
