Nicotine: On the benefits and lack of demerits of nicotine
Summary: Nicotine, when separated from tobacco and smoke-related delivery mechanisms, may have potential benefits and minimal harm. Research suggests that nicotine gum or patches can improve mental performance, alertness, and memory. While nicotine is addictive to some degree, its risks do not appear significantly more harmful than caffeine or modafinil. However, vaping's potential harms are less understood and may be more addictive than gum/patch delivery. Nicotine's addictiveness is also genetically modulated, and its harmful reputation is often conflated with tobacco use.
