Eggplant
The food that is richest in nicotine concentration is eggplant. Eggplant contains a nicotine concentration of 100 ng/g. This vegetable is also a very good dietary source of fiber, vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and potassium. According to "The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods" by Michael T. Murray, the health benefits of eggplant consumption are directly linked to the presence of a strong antioxidant called nasunin 35. Nasunin protects the body against free radical damage, helps rid the body of excess iron and helps lower cholesterol levels.

” the Dr. stated that all her fellow students in medical school either smoked or wore nicotine patches, because it helped their cognitive ability.”
The studies are hard to find these days but nicotine has been shown to improve reaction time. Not much but just outside the statistical noise factor.
So if you are a pro baseball player and it improves your batting average from .200 to say .215 that’s a few more $$$$ and another year or two playing. For shortstop maybe a few more diving catches.
Nicotine has a stronger attraction to the Ace2 receptor cells which blocks the spiked proteins from Covid-19. This is why spiked proteins cause high blood pressure and nicotine can lower it.
Also, nicotine modulates mRNA and protein expression levels of genes involved in glutamatergic transmission.

Nicotine upregulates ACE2 expression and increases competence for SARS-CoV-2 in human pneumocytes.
Who’d a-thunk it!
I’ll stick with my vape and homemade juices. MUCH cheaper.
Which country was that?
But also, people who smoke tend to be thinner. We traded smoking for obesity. Good trade? [shrug] Not my place to say.
Well, I’ll say it. My husband smoked for over 50 years. Now he’s on oxygen almost continuously, (can be off for 10-15 minutes if he’s sitting still), can hardly make himself heard (smoking impacts the diaphragm, plus you need to fill your lungs well to speak), and has generalized weakness. Can’t go hunting, because he could never walk that much or haul out a deer, can’t do home upkeep except for piddly little jobs, can’t do yard work, and has to wear oxygen during sex. We used to like to walk a mile or so. That’s out, as are a lot of vacation activities. Can’t go anywhere where he can’t plug in his portable oxygen machine for more than 2 hours. Rotten way to spend his retirement, but hey, smokers, knock yourselves out. Btw, I’ve never smoked, but I am considered obese, but I can do all those things he can’t, except maybe hauling out a deer, depending on the size.
The nightshade family, to which belong eggplant, tomatoes, and potatoes, is chock full of poisonous alkyloids. I didn’t see peppers on the list of nicotine-containing veggies or fruits(eggplant is a fruit), but they have capsicum. It’s thought to decrease depredation.
I thought the poisonous part of nightshades was in the leaves. Almost all vegetables are healthy, though, even the starchy ones in moderation.
A while back, some author put out a book called something like “French Women Don’t Get Fat.” I didn’t read it, but my understanding is that it was all about the benefits of the typical mediterranean/wine & cheese diet in France versus American junk food and processed crap. But I’ve been to France twice in the last couple years, and there are plenty of junk food emporia over there two... and the supermarket shelves aren’t terribly different there compared to here. But the female smoking/vaping rate, 18-50, is easily QUADRUPLE what it is the U.S.A. The metabolic effects of that can’t be ignored by all the folks making negative comparisons about American and European waistlines.
I read the book and I don't recall that smoking as part of the French lifestyle was mentioned anywhere therein.
This reminds me of two different diet books that extolled lifestyle changes and self-control, but each of the authors had incidentally (?) undergone having their jaws wired shut (weight loss was a side effect).
Tomatoes actually contain a fair amount of nicotine, second only to eggplant.
I in my old age might need to start chewing again.
or not
The mint family is just loaded with things to deter insects, and folks will use tons of it preparing Thanksgiving dinner.
You would need to eat 33 pounds of tomatoes to ingest the amount of nicotine the body absorbs from smoking one cigarette.
LOL....
I had a severe outbreak of the spiked proteins creating sores all over my skin that itched like a 3 day old sunburn. After extensive research, I started on the tablets that are for stop smoking nicotine withdrawal. These are very weak in comparison to a cigarette in nicotine content.
Within 24 hrs the bleeding sores were gone.
Folks, we have a winner in our Awesome Foods Contest…. LOL!

Essentially vegetable lasagna with breaded and fried eggplant slices added in with the rest of the veggies.
And you must use olive oil for the frying. Progresso Italian Style breadcrumbs
for the breading (along with some garlic powder, sweet red bell peppers (diced), some black pepper, some rosemary (ground), basil (fresh), thyme, some Monterey Jack cheese, some fresh sliced mushrooms, black olives (in moderation),diced red onions, shallots are an option, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, etc, etc, ….

I agree. And that's why I make it often. Mmmmmm.
All Nightshades contain nicotine, which is nature own pesticide.
Tobacco the most, the eggplant, tomato, potato, peppers.
Nicotine in low doses per se is not really harmful, and it is used in many medicines. It is also used in most synthetic pesticides.
The main problem is, that it is addictive and it’s traditional delivery method, tobacco smoke, contains a lot of harmful substances.
I’ve been listening to Dr. Lee Merritt MD: talking about the benefits of nicotine and I did not know that it has healing properties. Of course, there was a reason God made it originally.
There is an alternative that people like Tucker Carlson use, nicotine pouches. You put them under your lip colors and impart nicotine into your system. You can get them in as little as 3 mg pouches. Thinking about getting some just to have in my medicine cabinet.
Tucker developed his own brand because the major brand gives to liberal causes so I would assume he likes nicotine a lot.
