What Are The Chances Of Allergy To Nicotine?
Hello, My name is Travis. My new girlfriend of a few months says she is allergic to nicotine. I quit chewing before we started dating because of this. She said she s had boyfriends in the past that have chewed and giving her bad reactions after kissing, which she attributes to chew and nicotine. I don t have the guts to test it and see if its true, as she says the reactions can be very brutal. I have been nicotine free for 3 months but I m curious if this is true?

Hi
This would be very unusual but not impossible. I would assume she would have the same reaction to second-hand smoke if it were true
