Quoted By:

if you start a smoking or snuff habit as a minor nootropic, you're an idiot.
If you use a 2mg-4mg nicotine lozenge occasionally (only during study, and w/ 3 days 'Off' a week) you will notice some minor nootropic effects but any addiction you develop will be extremely minor.
Nicotine is crudely described as like a weaker version of caffeine in some ways. Coffee is stronger than a nicotine lozenge and much worse withdrawal symptoms and tolerance issues.
Nicotine also has some other occasional uses, such as some using it to signal a 'reward' to their brains while trying to stay on a study routine. Or counter-acting some previous rare use of an anticholinergic such as diphenhydramine

Eh, tobacco is more addictive thanks to it containing MAOI's, but nicotine on its own isnt very addictive. The habit you get from it takes a week to break tops even after heavy usage. Basically you can just use it and not give a fuck.
