Well.......I have read several times that nicotine inhibits Alzheimer's.

I have no plans to take up cigarettes. However, a nicotine patch might be just the thing.

... tobacco is good for us !

“Nicotine has been shown to stimulate nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, which can lead to short-term improvements in cognitive functions such as attention, vigilance, and memory.”

It turns out that nicotine is a wonder drug kept secret like ivermectin or fenbendazol.

Catching stuff on fire and inhaling it is definitely a bad idea.

Nicotine, however, and the various alkaloids and phenols in tobacco are almost certainly good for you.

Delivery method is the issue.

Nothing harmful about meat, why do you think God gave us our incisor and canine teethe?

Those are in our mouths to cut and tear the meat from the bones of freshly killed animals.

Well, it was much less harmful before they started
adding stuff to prevent house fires for those who
fell asleep with a lit cigarette.
