Nicotine has been added to energy drinks in Japan for years. The claim that it has cognitive upsides is not necessarily cigarette-company propaganda.

Do you have any links for this? I could only find references to nicotinamide, not nicotine.

No links at hand, and I was unaware of the term “nicotinamide” for a form of vitamin B3. I am quite sure that I read claims of nicotine specifically being added, but I now suspect that the people writing that were misled by the name of nicotinamide. Thanks for enlightening me.
