Your body will rapidly develop tolerance for the blood pressure increase caused by many stimulants (caffeine, nicotine). You will likely see no more effect after just a few days.

What do you mean by no more effect? No more blood pressure increase? Or no more cognitive stimulant effect?
No more blood pressure increase. You can probably also develop tolerance for the other effects of your chosen stimulant, but maybe not as rapidly.
I'd like to see some studies about it.
I'm 26, I picked up smoking about 10 years ago (damn, that's a lot of time) and I have high blood pressure. That may also be due to genetic factors (both father, mother and grandmother with HBP).
While my BP is usually around 150/90, the three times I quit smoking for more than a week I return to normal values, around 120/80.
Just my N=1
