1. Nicotine is addictive, it's the common delivery method that is
totally asinine - and the root of the problem. Hell, if the tobacco companies were allowed to sell patches, prices would plummet, and the general health levels of society would rise.

That's my arm-chair diagnosis anyway.

So I'm going with option 4

2. Yep - Nicotine in itself is not that bad for you
It's the smoke that kills...

3. Actually, nicotine by itself can kill you.

In large enough quantities. That's why they print warnings on nicotine products like patches and gum to keep the used patches and chewed gum away from children and animals who might get nicotine poisoning from them.

4. I happen to know that nicotine is the most addictive drug out there.
Beats out every other addictive substance by a mile.

6. For me, #1... since after almost 10 months of no nicotine in my system...
I would really hate to become addicted to it again.

7. Think of all the people who die of heart disease
and other illnesses related to obesity and a high fat & cholesterol diet. I say the Bic Mac meal.
