Sorry, I was being unclear. I was speaking only in terms of addictive potential and difficulty of quitting. MAOIs in cigarettes make them more addictive than e-cigs (nicotine alone) as the different action of other opiates makes them more addictive than mitragynine.

I see. I wasn't aware of the MAOIs in tobacco. Though I wasn't able to find a good source on how much they might contribute to the addiction (lots of questions about it around the web though).

Do you happen to know of credible sources or studies which have looked at this?

Dunno about credible, but here’s one rat study with a lot of citations, and I think it’s where I first read about it: http://jneurosci.org/content/25/38/8593.full
