I would expect dosage mechanisms that quickly bring the nicotine to the brain would be more addictive.

FYI, "habituation" is a technical term in psychology that does not mean "form habit". Got me confused there for a bit.

Seems plausible.

What I meant to say there was not"form a habit" but instead "tolerance", which is similar to habituation but for chemicals instead of external stimuli.
