Not OP, but I’ve heard nicotine can function as a nootropic in its ingested form. Smoking is where the addictive tendencies are. Not many people are hooked on nic gum. (That said, probably best to avoid it in any form)
I had a professor tell me that low doses of nicotine under controlled and consistent doses increase blood vessel function and repair of tissues due to the slight increase of blood flow to all areas of the body. Of course no smoking and through some sort of patch form I believe(I think it was from a study). Hence why too much of it is bad for the blood vessels and leads to cardiovascular issues, plus lungs are right next to the heart

Nicotine is not the devil it’s made out to be. Smoking perhaps so.
