As someone else referenced: https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine - there _is_ research that indicates that nicotine is not as addictive on its own as it is in cigarettes. And that's it's not, on its own, harmful.
And could you not say similar things about caffeine and caffeine dependence?
- sosilkj 8y ago"And that's it's not, on its own, harmful." I'm sorry to say, but that statement is incorrect. Even the gwern.net link has a section titled "Health Issues". I'll add that it is an immunosuppressant, which Gwern does not appear to mention (or I missed it when skimming the link).
