Idiot libs, they seem to think that Nicotine itself causes lung cancer, instead it is all the smoke...

If we ground up coffee bean and put thin in paper tubes and smoked them it would cause cancer as well! And it sure as hell wouldn’t be the Caffeine that caused the actual cancer...

Same goes for “chew” it is the other stuff in the chew that causes cancer and not the nicotine..

There was a proposal from the RJ Reynolds (sp) Company to make a “peppermint mint that was enhanced with Nicotine” and the Libs screamed like little stuck pigs. Mainly because it would profit “big tobacco”.

I have family members that smoke around harvest season to stay awake (they are farmers). I would much rather they be addicted to “Nicotine Sweets” than damn cigarettes or chew.

Spot on, except for a minor issue with: "I would much rather they be addicted to “Nicotine Sweets” than damn cigarettes or chew." They are not likely to get addicted to something which has added nicotine. The reason that cigarettes, and to a lesser extent other forms of tobacco, are so addictive is the other chemicals (in tobacco itself, used in the curing process, and added to the finished product) which make smoking more akin to freebasing nicotine. I suspect that freebasing anything (especially nicotine, which has significant positive qualities) would result in a pretty severe addiction.
