This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I find it changing as of lately, as "W equivalent", lumens, and actual Watts get printed on the bulbs' package more often, sometimes even pulsation score or something. This really helps because actual Watts and lumens are quite independent now

Yeah exactly, but to get to that point we needed to message it to consumers as such for ~20 years. Similarly, in OPs example, the 20mg feels similarly to a 40mg, but with half the nicotine - clearly the measurement on the box is being used as a proxy for "how does this feel" (no clue if that has a measurement/is measureable) but could definitely message it similarly
