Has it really been proven that nicotine itself is dangerous? I'm thinking of articles like https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-nicotine-all-bad/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-nicotine-all-b...

Definitely not "proven" to be dangerous, in fact evidence is more compatible with (low dose) nicotine being quite safe. Best summary I'm aware of (note the many caveats): https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine
