In the U.S. Department of Health’s list of 69 potential and known carcinogens in cigarettes (https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/tobacco/cessation-fact-sheet https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/t...), nicotine is not one of them.
If [the U.S. Department of Health] can’t even recognize nicotine is carcinogenic given their sensitivity for identifying carcinogens, the likelihood that it has any cancer causing properties is approaching…zero.

There were sufficient effect size data to conduct meta-analyses on nine performance domains, including motor abilities, alerting and orienting attention, and episodic and working memory. We found significant positive effects of nicotine or smoking on six domains: fine motor, alerting attention-accuracy and response time (RT), orienting attention-RT, short-term episodic memory-accuracy, and working memory-RT (effect size range=0.16 to 0.44).
