Changing taste 2 months ago

So an interesting thing came up in conversation the other day, about how the flavour and taste of your smoke can be altered by taking in other complimentary tastes at the same time.
I’ve some experience of this with occasionally sucking a mint or chewing gum whilst having a smoke. Other folk have mentioned that a cigarette goes well with coffee.
So I was wondering what (if any) other people’s experiences with this phenomena are, are certain brands better with a coffee for example.
Another interesting thing I came across was the idea that if you chill or freeze your cigarettes and smoke them whilst chilled you can get a smoother taste – I haven’t tried this out yet so it could be rubbish but I think I may give it a go.

Not just nicotine 13 months ago

Recently read on wikipedia (as you do – I tend to surf it when bored at work) that the addictive effects of nicotine in tobacco are enhanced by the presence of another chemical called Harmine (also present in tobacco).
Harmine is a reversible MAOI – or to put it another way it increases the length of time that the dopamine hit nicotine delivers stays in the system by inhibiting the normal process of restoring dopamine to normal levels.
MAOI’s are also used for treatment of depression etc. which might explain why a lot of folks who suffer from such also smoke (personal supposition)

Purely science geekery for which I apologise but I found it intriguing
