I have found nicotine to be an awesome nootropic. Two times a day administrativing 2mg via throat lozenge (best englisch word I could find for what I mean) is awesome for studying.
But I have a question for the biochemists/meds
How would you rate nicotines adverse effects? Especially inhibition of tumor suppressor mechanisms and clot formation?
>pic related
Suppressing of tumor suppressor mechanisms, or am I reading this incorrect?
Daily smoking-is-healthy shilling thread again ?

Two-fold increase of tumorsize
Nine-fold increase of metastasis
This sounds no good
Especially under the fact, that most cancers which are diagnosed in your sixties actually grow since your twenties

No-no I absolutely despise those retards who think smoking organic tobacco is not harmful.
This is purely about pure nicotine administrated through nicotine replacement therapy medication.

Effects of Nicotine :
Brain: Nicotine disrupts normal neurotransmitter activity, causing chemical changes and addiction. Other neurological symptoms caused by nicotine include light-headedness, sleep disturbance, dizziness, and tremors.
Heart and Arteries: Nicotine increases heart rate and raises blood pressure when it stimulates the release of adrenaline. Short term, this means your body is less efficient when you exercise. It has to work harder getting the blood and oxygen to cells that need it, preventing the body from reaching its maximum potential. Long term, the stress on the heart and arteries can lead to increased risk of heart attack and can even lead to a stroke and/or aneurysm.
Eyes: Nicotine reduces the ability to see at night by stopping the production of pigments in the eyes specially designed for low-light vision. Adrenaline released by nicotine reduces peripheral vision, and in the end, nicotine accelerates the degeneration of the eyes.
Metabolism: Nicotine increases calories burned but decreases endurance by wasting energy in the effort. So, while nicotine users may have the energy to sprint down the block, they won't have the maximum lung or heart capacity to get their best score on a PT running test or maybe even to finish the all-night trek with their unit.
Reproductive System: Nicotine prohibits proper blood circulation and is a leading cause of erectile dysfunction (impotence) for men under 40. Nicotine also increases the risk of infertility and miscarriage. And if babies exposed to nicotine in utero do make it to birth, they tend to have low birth weights, be born prematurely, and have increased risk for lung problems.
Bones: When used over time, nicotine alters cellular structures and has been found to increase risk for fractures while contributing long-term to the development of weakened bones (osteoporosis).

Please cite the adverse effects of coffein in a similar manner
in the early 90s, my dad's gf took part in a clinical trial of a number of different recreational drugs, on rats, and the only drug they found with any positive effects was nicotine (mostly affected memory and cognition, and it appeared to have a long term effect on cognition)
and after publishing, the govt withdrew their funding, funny that

Why do you think it is?

How was the nicotine ingested in the study?
What's the lethal dose for nicotine? I once read that the whole nicotine content of a cig could kill you if it were injected directly into your blood
VAPE GANG BOYS I BLOW CLOUDS SO BIG SHIT CAUSED HURRICANE KATRINA.

The whole nicotine content of a cig is around 0.8 mg. Nicotine's LD50 is at least 50mg
