nico-loading 

The act of chain smoking or frantic hitting of a vape prior to a long flight or other trip during which tobacco products or other sources of nicotine will not be available. Equatable to carbo-loading before an athletic event.

Friend 1: “Shit! I have a 3 hour layover; I won’t be able to smoke until I get to Philly!”

Friend 2: “Better start nico-loading, bro.”

nico-loading 

Intensely smoking one or more cigarettes in anticipation of a period where one will not be able to smoke such as a plane journey or interminable work meetings. Like carbo-loading but slightly less healthly.

Outside the airport, you can see the huddle of smokers nico-loading in anticipation of their journeys.
