I read through that article, as well as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinic_agonist , but they're shallow on details. I understand the low-level pharmacodynamics (but these are seldom useful when talking about

Read the original report your report is citing: 10.1001/jama.1988.03720190003002 (excerpt: https://sci-hub.se/10.1001/jama.1988.03720190003002 ) This reads like a thinly-veiled marketing piece for Nicorette (now ow

I still don't see it. The only justifications I've come across are a matter of post-hoc rationalization ("because nicotine is addictive, X, Y, and Z"; but no "nicotine is addictive, because A, B, C"), and takin

Do you have any evidence? I've done free base nic, salt nic, and nic polacrilex. Salt nic would be, in my opinion, the most habit-forming (but not addictive), due to a quick and high "peak," and quicker clearance -- leading t

The FDA doesn't source those claims. It seems more political, than empirical. Having used nicotine, tobacco, and been around people that have used nicotine and tobacco, there is little observational evidence that is addictive, relative

Nicotine is fairly non-addictive (in gum and patch form. Vapes, may be slightly more addictive due to oral fixation -- but still nothing compared to actual tobacco). Benefits are mostly in appetite suppression (if one is prone to overeating

Statistically significant != practically significant. It's almost impossible to deduce, due to this paper's horrid formatting.

I feel after the first few bites, you'd be running on adrenaline. At that point, I believe it's apt to start elbow-dropping, curb-stomping, and punting monkeys. If for some unknown reason, 5 monkeys ambushed me on a regular walk,

I've been looking through monkey bites, and they're a lot more tame on human skin than they are on other monkeys. Macaques have large teeth and strong jaw muscles (as do dogs); but unlike dogs (or say even piranhas), it doesn&#x27

Normally, it would be poor form to pick apart someone's well thought-out reasoning, but your reasonings are not well thought-out: they're middle class talking points, and effectively propaganda, lacking any overarching cohesion. &

One of the greatest ironies of the 20th-21st centuries is that the lower and upper classes are closer to each other (in living a life driven by primal forces), than the middle classes are to either. Everything you've written is a middl

We could also simply do-away with level-headed discourse, and go back to the tried-and-true: "Billionaires are not your friends. They don't know you, they don't care about you, and they can do nothing for you -- except allow

Yes, and the Dutch East India Company was just a trading operation that had no long-term repercussions on the world. They're both transnationals (something that is an abomination against humanity, in my opinion). There is no good faith

As I understand it, Britain's "grammar schools" did have an influence/were imported to the U.S. into the New England area. However, these were not free -- and I'm certain the reason for not allowing them to be more
