English term or phrase: tobacco hit
"Gutka users who missed their favorite taste and tobacco hit could just combine the ingredients (flavorings, betel nuts, lime, and tobacco) and legally re-create their preferred flavor".

Thank you in advance for your help!

Explanation:
Supongo que se refiere a la acepción 5 del M-W, "quantity of a drug ingested at one time" (ver ref.). Entiendo que podría sustituirse por el "efecto" de esa dosis.

subidón del tabaco


Explanation:
Depending on context/audience you might have to look for a less colloquial term. This term would fit for a Spanish from Spain audience.

Reference: tobacco hit

Reference information:
What does a cigarette hit feel like?
Nicotine reaches your brain within 10 seconds of when it enters your body. It causes the brain to release adrenaline, and that creates a buzz of pleasure and energy. The buzz quickly fades, though. Then you may feel tired or a little down—and you may want that buzz again.
https://veterans.smokefree.gov/nicotine-addiction/reasons-pe...

The word “hit” refers to the sensation at the moment the pharynx contracts in contact with the nicotine and propylene glycol when aspiring e-cigarette vapour or cigarette smoke. It is the effect desired when an ex-smoker vapes. The “hit” is inseparable from the pleasure obtained through the inhalation.

SUBIDÓN
https://dle.rae.es/subidón?m=form

"La nicotina también provoca un “subidón” de adrenalina en una cantidad que no es suficiente como para ser notada, pero bastante como para acelerar su corazón y elevar su presión sanguínea."
