I understand tobacco and chew and vapes aren’t good for you, because of all the other shit in there, but is nicotine itself as a chemical bad for you?

Well this is Reddit so I can’t be bothered to give sources BUT nicotine by itself (the chemical) is actual beneficial for us in moderate doses.

And in fact we actually ingest it quite often but only as a trace element in things like tea or potatoes.

But it is good for the brain
