I don't think you are supposed to smoke cigars with your, er, gender-specific parts. At least I hope not. Presidential examples aside. :eek

For whatever reason I am an utter lightweight when it comes to alcohol and caffeine, but nicotine just doesn't seem to do me in even when I smoke a dozen or more cigars back to back at an all day herf event. I don't eat any sugar, or much of anything sugary. Don't really eat starches either, mostly do a low carb diet. I'm not sure why people can vary in their response to nicotine, even the same person at different times, but it would be nifty if somebody had links to medical information on the subject.

What makes sugar counteract nicotine? Is it a competing receptor? What's the mechanism?
