Nicotine is a very useful drug that is sadly so very, very bad for you.
It has weight loss impacts, acts as a stimulant and is actually one of the better non-prescribed treatments for ADHD (as well as being super associated with schizophrenia).
After I got my ADHD diagnoses I noted that this was always called out in the literature, and I have been addicted to nicotine for the past 25 years or so (on a vape now, which appears to significantly reduce some of the bad side effects, but is still probably not good for me).
