    I don’t think nicotine is a bad drug, necessarily.

    But smoking is a terrible way to take it. Lip pouches also have their detractions, with the wounds they create.

    Perhaps the teas, or other drinks, or sprays are better. Or maybe salves, if nicotine patches do anything then a salve should work too, I’m guessing. I know there’s bigger overdose risk, though. So they all will require the same personal responsibility approach as strong alcohol.

    Ultimately I think legal access to strong nicotine products without the cancer issues of smoking is inevitable. But maybe only if we get to somewhere in the early 2100’s, because I don’t think it’s happening soon.
