I wonder if we'll see an increase in other nicotine related issues. It's hearsay from my gen-Z colleagues but apparently there's a bit of a ZYN/snus epidemic.

- xnx 2y agoNicotine might be one of the least harmful things in cigarettes compared to tar, carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, cadmium, arsenic, etc. Nicotine by itself isn't too different from caffeine.
- llamaimperative 2y ago> Nicotine by itself isn't too different from caffeine Yes it is You should actually look up the literature. Chronic use is actually harmful in a lot of the same ways that tobacco smoking is. Obviously it's a huge improvement over tobacco use, but it's also a huge downgrade from abstinence as a whole.
- driverdan 2y agoIt's not. The biggest health consequence of long term nicotine use is hardening of arteries. All of the lung problems, the worst side effects, are from smoking.

- snovymgodym 2y agoNicotine on its own frankly isn't that harmful outside of addiction. Not great for you, but it's orders of magnitude more healthy than being obese.
