Nicotine is awesome for the first few months and then your body adapts and you literally get nothing out of it. Even if you take a break your receptors never reset so it’s really one of those single use drugs.
Yes but that’s not the nicotine. That’s the smoke and the coffee and the relaxing and all that stuff. Which… yes is how I got started haha. But nicotine itself… nothing good, and lots of bad.
I eventually went to those mints which are basically nicotine candy. I was eating them like… well, candy. When I quit those, my resting heartbeat went from 80 to ~55.
But of all the drugs I’ve ever done, nicotine is the only one where I still want it.
Nicotine is well known to have serious systemic side effects in addition to being highly addictive. It adversely affects the heart, reproductive system, lung, kidney etc. Many studies have consistently demonstrated its carcinogenic potential.
Paid for by Big Nicotine ya dummy. There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But if you look hard enough, you can always find text on the Internet that aligns with the viewpoint that you want to have, regardless of its accuracy
Caffeine isn’t good for you either, if we want to be pedantic. You can “the fuck,” all you want but showing how a bad thing is like another bad thing doesn’t make it a good thing.
Did…did you even read any of the links I posted? Apparently not…things aren’t bad just because you say they are… uranium can blow us all up or provide energy for us. The sun… literally is killing us when we go outside, but it grows our food and provides us a habitable temperature to survive in. Why is your brain so black and white…

How is it awesome?
I mean I enjoyed the hell out of it when I smoked. Love a cigarette and black coffee.

Yeah the nicotine makes you just feel like you are dying.

Yeah, you smell that secondhand smoke and no matter how many years it’s been, it’s got that magnetic appeal, like the smell of a nicely seared steak.
Only if it’s my brand though. I hate the smell of cigarettes, but I can smell a camel light a mile away.
Same. I still want a cigarette and its been way more than 10 years.

Nicotine isn’t the issue and no it is not carcinogenic. The burning of tobacco is.

That’s Vanderbilt University…the fuck? There are tons of other studies that show it’s being researched for a net gain.

Its a very powerful stimulant and great for focus enhancement.
If you’re legitimately interested and not just trolling see this detailed psychonauts wiki page: https://m.psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Nicotine
There are many orher substances that do the exact same thing without the extreme side effects of nicotine.
