Ive always wondered because these two stimulants are very similiar. Any chemists out there that might know? They are also both addictive.

I mean if I drink one can of mountain dew-how many cigarettes would that compare to? I guess what I should ask is :how many times stronger is nicotine than caffiene?

First, milligrams are a unit of mass and do not relate to the chemical effects of each of these on the body. You are asking apples and oranges here. Nicotine is a poison and caffeine a stimulant. They have different effects on the body that do not relate to each other.

As was said, mg are mg, mass is mass. But the stimulant effects are different. They effect the body differently. Nicotine is more addictive. It is also stronger.

Referring to DzSoundNirvana's answer, be careful when you talk about weight and mass. A kg of feathers (mass) has the same mass as kg of gold. But when placed on a balance (weighting) the feathers will weigh less because they are less dense, so they occupy a greater volume and will displace more air (Archimedes Principle).
