Nicotine gets a bad rap because it's associated with smoking and addiction. But if you take it safely and in the right way, its benefits might surprise you. There’s a lot more to nicotine than smoking and addiction. Like caffeine, it’s a powerful smart drug, and when you get it at low doses in its pure form – without toxins and carcinogens wrapped around it and rolled into a cigarette – nicotine can be a formidable biohack. This science is solid – nicotine is an extensively studied psychoactive chemical. Please separate nicotine from the stigma of tobacco and read this post with an open mind. daveasprey.com/is-nicotine-...
