Nicotine with out smoke and carcinogens? What could be better?

But it's not 'safe'. Nicotine is still a stimulant, and it can still cause health problems. Just because the smoke was eliminated doesn't means it's safe!

Nicotine is metabolized by the liver, so there's toxicity issues and liver damage that can occur if the smoke-free nicotine starts to cause people to use MORE nicotine, because they 'think' it's safer. Nicotine also causes your blood vessels to tighten, pulse to speed up, crosses the blood-brain barrier of the brain, and more. We also don't know if nicotine IS or IS NOT carcinogenic, since no one has studied it outside of the MAOI properties of tobacco leaves.To me, this is just another way to make big money while making people THINK they are being safer.

Many people don't know this, but nicotine is in fact, a very dangerous pesticide. "Nicotine — Botanical insecticide. Pure nicotine is a tobacco extract highly toxic to warm-blooded animals.

The insecticide usually is marketed as a 40% liquid concentrate of nicotine sulfate, which is diluted in water and applied as a spray. Dusts can irritate the skin and are not normally available for garden use. Nicotine is used primarily for piercing sucking-insects such as aphids, whitefiles, leaf hoppers and thrips.

Nicotine is more effective when applied during warm weather. It degrades quickly, so can be used on many food plants nearing harvest. It is registered for use on a wide range of vegetable and fruit crops." from hbci.com/~wenonah/hydro/pestcont.htm Notice that it says that pure nicotine is "highly toxic to warm-blooded animals".

I believe the last time I checked, humans were warm blooded animals. "According to Poison/Toxicology by Jay Arena, the lethal dosage of nicotine for a 150 pound (68kg) male is 60mg. This is less than both arsenic and strychnine.

(would you use a product if you knew it had either of those in it? ) ... "Much more nicotine enters the body through chewing tobacco and many nicotine patches/gums than through smoking cigarettes; nicotine levels should be monitored when using these methods of disbursement. While gums and patches have maximum recommended doses, chewers of tobacco should be aware of how much nicotine they are sending directly to their blood stream.

An average pinch of chew held in the cheek for half an hour provides as much nicotine as smoking three or four cigarettes. " In the same article it says that nicotine itself is tied to several types of cancer, so nicotine itself is a carcinogen. From http://www.wisegeek.com/is-nicotine-dangerous.htm In the advertisement, it says "...nicotine by itself is not a terrible thing.

" Now that you have the facts, what do you think? It's just another way to get people to get addicted. Once they are hooked, and they can't afford the $150 e-cigarettes, they will start using regular cigarettes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
