In the What are you reading? thread, the last book I posted about was "The Tipping Point".
It is a fascinating book that studies how things "tip". This refers to when a product or idea goes gangbusters and becomes really big. I was trying to see if I could learn anything to make pipe smoking tip.
I finished the book during my Richmond Show travels. The book not only talks about how to make things increase in popularity, but also how to decrease things. One example was a study on decreasing the crime rate in NYC. He introduces the "Broken Windows" theory on this, which is pretty cool.
In one of the chapters he talks about the smoking of cigarettes by teens and suggests how to decrease it, with a totally different approach than what the typical antis have used. I'm not going to get into that in this post, although it was quite interesting.
In that section of the book he references studies about different people's tolerance to nicotine.
Basically, because of their genetic make-up, some people have a very high tolerance and some people have a very low tolerance and everything in between.
Now I don't feel so bad that I am a nicotine lightweight.
I'll fall off my chair while Bob laughs away smoking three bowls of the same stuff that killed me in half a bowl.
However, I can drink his butt under the table ... but I've had a lot of practice. 
Do YOU have a HIGH or LOW tolerance to nicotine?
