As a relatively recent (3 months) ex-smoker I can assure you that coke in
any of its various incarnations does *nothing* to assuage the craving from
nicotine. Even so, I doubt the test is a useful one. As it turns out I
use bubble gum to chase away the nicotine heebie jeebies to good effect. I
don't think bubble gum has nicotine in it....
