Nicotine has been demonized for VERY good reason: to discourage smoking. Cigarettes kill half of all users

40 years of tobacco control messaging in the War Against Big Tobacco now overshadows truth. #TherapeuticNicotine and #nootropic benefits have all been swept under the rug for decades now.

What if (just hypothetically) a non-intoxicating mild stimulant was deliberately demonized for a good goal: discourage smoking (which kills people)?

What if that paternalistic demonization has led most public health experts to sweep all #TherapeuticNicotine health benefits under the rug?
