As someone who has never smoked, but juuls occasionally, I would like to see some studies on the health effects on nicotine alone. Much of the anti smoking literature focuses on the health effects of inhaling burning plant matter along with nicotine. How different is a straight nicotine addiction from that of a coffee addiction? A heavy coffee drinker is chemically dependent on the caffeine, but there isn't any cultural or even health pressure to quit coffee (unless some heart/BP issues). You even see articles that say that coffee has health benefits.
I go through great lengths to insure that I don't become dependent on either, though I enjoy both. Caffeine really does reduce fatigue, and nicotine 'dials you in' when you're focusing. Wish I knew what the chemicals themselves were doing to me without the complications from the delivery systems.

- elektor 8y agoHere is a new study that looked at urine samples from only smokers, only e-cig users, dual smokers, and never smokers: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2718096?widget=personalizedcontent&previousarticle=0 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle... If you look at Figure 1, the e-cig users and never smokers are pretty similar.
