Nowadays you can get nicotine prescribed to you through nasal sprays. That makes it okay, right? Oh, and they do the same thing with Amphetamines for kids too. Why not let the individual practice free choice?

Great information and I loved the way you laid it out. I’ve always thought of Nicotine as just a legal drug. Much in the same way alcohol is. When it comes down to brain chemistry, illegal drugs and nicotine alter the normal chemistry of the brain including “addictive” pathways such as dopamine and whatever other complex systems are involved. The only difference being a cultural history combined with social acceptance. With Nicotine, one can still function relatively normally as opposed to cocaine or methamphetamine. The latter of which would throw somebody right outside of the social acceptance circle. I’m a smoker trying to quit so I’m a little peeved that such a nasty addictive substance could be marketed and targeted towards younger people and ultimately result in the same mess I’m in as I try to quit.
