True or False: Women generally metabolize nicotine faster than men.

True
False
Only when pregnant
Only in non-smokers

The correct answer is: False

The statement concerns the metabolism of nicotine between different genders. Research indicates that women typically metabolize nicotine more slowly than men. This slower metabolism is influenced by various factors, including hormonal differences and body composition. Women may experience different effects from nicotine due to these metabolic differences. In certain circumstances, such as during pregnancy, women's metabolism of nicotine can change, potentially becoming faster due to hormonal shifts. However, the general statement about women metabolizing nicotine faster than men does not hold true under normal circumstances. It's also worth noting that the metabolism of nicotine may vary between smokers and non-smokers; however, the question is about a general comparison between genders, making the general consensus that women metabolize nicotine slower than men the most accurate response.
