That article contains no information that clearly states that nicotine is harmless, just that using vapes and nicotinic gums are less harmful than the use of cigarettes. To be clear, it does not say that nicotine is harmful, nor does it say that it is harmless.
- seanmcdirmid 7y ago> We also know that nicotine itself isn’t particularly harmful. I.e. not harmless, but not especially harmful. Like caffeine. Remember, humans have a 100% mortality rate.
- Balgair 7y agoDespite the fact that you cannot get out of life alive, the evidence seems to be unclear on if nicotine is harmful or not and what, if any, effects it may have on the quality of a life that will end or the effects on the time of death.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoYes, but that is true for a lot of substances, like again, caffeine. All we know is that we have yet to find evidence that nicotine is especially harmful, and that’s just how it works in the biological sciences. If everything required proof of no harm, we would simply die of starvation.
