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?

Nicotine is frightfully addictive, and also extremely easy to overdose and poison yourself with.
Nicotine is similar in many ways to neurotransmitters in the brain, and temporarily makes the brain’s work easier, so it’s easy to get addicted to it.
The difference between a “useful” dose and a fatal one is very small though, and it can be absorbed directly through the skin. In a lot of places the sale and/or possession of liquid Nicotine is illegal because of this toxicity.
I knew a guy who had a vape that used liquid Nicotine as a replacement for smoking. He said he had to smuggle it in from overseas (that may be an exxageration on his part, but he certainly couldnt get it locally), and he was extremely careful any time he handled the Nicotine vial.
