Nicotine has a positive effect on memory. But lower blood oxygen levels and 300+ intentionally added carcinogens to make smoking more addictive probably has considerable adverse effect. People that hate smokers refuse to accept that there is a massive difference between tobacco and what is in cigarettes.

I've never smoked, but recently in my 30s started using nicotine gum 3-5 times per week.
It's amazing for improving focus, I get a lot more work done, remember things very well and am more patient with people.
Doesn't seem addictive in this form either, I can go a week without it and no withdrawal.
Also no negative impact on sleep (unlike caffeine)
