”he had vomiting spells and chills for weeks”

These are effects of MAOI withdrawal. Nothing to do with nicotine.

I’ve just about had it with the half-truths surrounding tobacco, coffee and alcoholic beverages. MAOIs from the Harmala alkaloid family as well as various flavonoid families are prevalent in all of our ”legal highs” in copious quantities, yet all we ever hear is ”nicotine”, ”caffeine” and ”alcohol”.

Could you please cite peer reviewed work that supports your repeated assertions about the role of MAOIs in cigarrete addiction?
