      there is much public misunderstanding about nicotine (less than 10% of adults understand that most of the harms to health from smoking are not caused by nicotine)

      Soooo? We were talking specifically about nicotine and caffeine, not smoking and drinking coffee. Burning organic compunds is very nasty ofc. Again “it is useless at best”.

      Tobacco contains nicotine along with many other chemicals, but nicotine by itself is fairly harmless.

      See. Useless at best.
