US Surgeon General's report is pretty good. https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/reports-and-publications/tobacco/index.html https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/reports-and-publications/... In the context of tobacco the nicotine is addictive; possibly carcinogenic; but there's a load of other stuff in tobacco which is far worse. I think it would be foolish to allow 16 year olds to have access to nicotine products unless they're already smokers.
