Nicotine is literally a natural pesticide, it’s actually quite destructive towards everything it touches

That is absolutely not true lol

It's not even harmful at the levels present in cigarettes.

It's all the OTHER stuff in cigarettes that kills you.

If this were the case, vaping nicotine would have pretty much no downsides. Look man I smoke way too much, but saying nicotine isn't inherently problematic and unhealthy is stupid and it's cope. Nicotine itself is considered toxic, if it wasn't it would be prescribed off label all the time and we wouldn't have the need for things like Effexor that are pretty much just long lasting and non toxic nicotine.

Edit: do you ever think before you speak? Seriously, I keep seeing you say dumb shit that you get corrected on. You didn't respond to anything I said with any sort of information other than pop culture smoker's copium. You just said I was wrong with no source and no information. Nicotine's use in nature is pesticide, it is literally a poison. You talk with a ton of confidence for someone who isn't making any actual point than a "whell acktually" that is factually incorrect.
