As is smoking of other things
- daedrdev 1y agoOf course nicotine addiction is one problem and putting ash in your lungs is another
- noleary 1y agoInterestingly, there's reasonably good basis to suspect nicotine (though not smoking) can reduce rates of neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- esperent 1y agoYou are correct but you really need to provide a source when making this claim because it sounds so unbelievable: https://www.healthline.com/health/alzheimers-dementia/nicotine-and-alzheimers https://www.healthline.com/health/alzheimers-dementia/nicoti... (Not calling healthline a source, but it has links to publications for those interested). It's important to note, of course, that smoking increases the risk of pretty much every bad health related thing that can happen to you, including dementia. However, using nicotine without smoking might have benefits due to its effects on acetylcholine receptors.
