Note how I said NICOTINE, not smoking. Smoking is undoubtedly bad for you due to all the harmful chemicals and carcinogens in cigarette smoke. Pure nicotine in the form of snus for example (pic related), is it that bad for you?

I have taken it a few times before and noticed it felt like a mild nootropic. My brain worked quicker, under less pressure and my imagination was more vivid. Things flowed easier in my brain, nothing lost in translation between my head and what I was working on. Apparently it may also help stimulate testosterone production and stop the excess production of estrogen in your body, which is good if you are a man.

Have any other /sci/ anons experimented with nicotine in someway or another? What was your experience? What is your belief on it?
