Except for that pesky addiction thing, nicotine is great!

Apparently... More addictive than heroin.

I myself have been addicted since I was 14 years old... But I get my fix through cigarettes. Some people say caffeine is addictive too, but I don’t subscribe to that... I was having rapid heartbeats at age 38 which a cardiologist diagnosed as PSVT... He said quit smoking and quit drinking coffee... I quit the coffee with no withdrawal symptoms whatsoever and the PVST disappeared. Didn’t drink a coffee for about 8 years after that before I started up again. But I only have two or three cups a day... Not ten.

Never have quit the smokes... But so far so good... 63 and I’m still relatively healthy. I’m hoping I have my father’s genes... He smoked until the day he died at age 87.

It is so good that it helped wipe out most of my family from cancer. Not when on the younger side, like Tucker, but when they got past 60 years old. I was a 3 pack a day person until reality caught up with me and my family.

And the hypertension thing.

I wish I could get some alert relaxation in a patch or gum with no downsides.

Yeh, get everyone addicted to nicotine.🙄. The only thing I was ever addicted to was cigarettes. Quitting was horrible.

Sometimes I don’t think Tucker is as smart as he thinks he is.

The 'addiction thing' from cigarettes showed other ingredients (starts with 'p', 'pyrazines'?) that was part of the chemical package found in cigarettes. And that was several decades ago.
