Nicotine is good for you?

Studies Find Nicotine May Have Medicinal Value

Studies are coming out saying that nicotine, one of the chemicals used in cigarettes, may have some good effects on one's health. Smokers who used nicotine patches were found to be less likely to develop Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Scientists say it is because nicotine stimulates brain receptors responsible for memory, learning and concentration. Some say the stimulant could be used to help young people who have short term memory problems brought on by ADHD and depression.

For a while, nicotine has been regarded as nothing more than a toxic stimulant. Now the National Institute of Aging is donating $1 million to study the substance more. Doctors also warn that these possible benefits listed need more study.

heh


here's something i know is true.

Nicotine helps cuts heal faster, i'm not sure if smoking would help make that stab wound scab over in 5 days, but i do know that Cut+Tobacco leaf(iunno if Dip/Cig tobacco would help...one helluva buzz though.)=scab time!

That tobacco leaf will give you one of the biggest buzzes you've ever had. I had to cut tobacco one summer, and this is when i Dipped heavily, and i had to sit out a day because i was getting sick from the nicotine.

you know what else helps cuts heal faster? saliva. there's a protein in the saliva that makes your skin grow back faster. i think iit's safe to say that you are better off licking your cuts then smoking :-).

You know what else heals cuts faster? Fire.

Nicotine has all sorts of great uses. Boiled down to extremely high potency, it is incredibly lethal. Great for hunting with blowguns.

Yes. This is true. BUT notice the phrase :


nicotine, one of the chemicals used in cigarettes

among how many? 5000 or so?

NICOTINE itself is neither good nor bad for you, although it is highly addictive.

[Dagfari]

Also, yes cuts heal faster with fire. But do you want to cauterize every scrape?

[Vengeful Scars]

Yes. This is true. BUT notice the phrase :
