Were nicotine harmless I'd be ok with teenagers getting hooked on it. After all many of them are hooked on excessive sugar consumption and that is not harmless.

Better to care about where the harm really lies than where it doesn't (again, if nicotine is harmless). Please don't say "aargh, drugs!" and lose your cool. We need a rational not emotional response or things will be made worse.

> "After all many of them are hooked on excessive sugar consumption" What did I specifically and kindly request that you not respond to me with? Whataboutism. You ignored my reasonable request so I need to ask you: are you fucking illiterate?
