OT again. So, richwhite, you suggest that for some reason the vast majority of the current nicotine research is wrong? According to your view, nicotine does not cause a chemical effect on brain which releases dopamine? I am not saying that you cannot be right. You may be. However, I have not seen anything really that would convince me. If the medical community comes to your line, fine. Oh, and btw, I should add that nicotine addiction is not particularly dangerous per se. It's actually a very safe addiction because nicotine hardly does more than raises your blood pressure while giving you the high. The only problem is that the delivery method (cigarettes) is so damn bad for your health.
