This is a tough question. It depends on the product. Different products are absorbed into the bloodstream differently. For example, much of the nicotine in smoking and vaping rapidly enters the bloodstream while the same dose of nicotine in a skin patch is absorbed over a few hours. In other words, the same dose of nicotine from different products is absorbed differently and impacts the user differently. A "low dose" also varies by person depending on how much they have been using.
