In Fallout: New Vegas, any item that has an effect that lasts for a given period of time (for example, the AP bonus from Jet, the skill point bonus from skill magazines, the health restored from food, et cetera) has its effective duration doubled. Notably, even items that have negative effects, such as Fixer's blurry addiction withdrawal, show an increased duration. Essentially, Chemist affects every consumable beyond skill books and stimpaks in casual mode.
