Nicotine is a VERY dangerous poison.

People seem to be able to handle it and enjoy it in controlled low dosages. But that's not what I was getting at. People get lung cancer from the tar and other additives in cigarettes. They don't appear to get lung cancer from nicotine, whatever its other effects may be.

Therefore, Juul is good! And, I don't use it myself, or other nicotine products, so I'm not talking my book with respect to my own nicotine addiction.

It is...was a pesticide for sometime. It’s also, highly addictive. I know because I just about lost my mind and several friends quitting cold turkey 25 years ago. Then got myself hooked on chew 10 years after quitting smoking. Getting off the chew was harder than the cigs! Nicotine f’s up your brain and dopamine receptors big-time and it takes a while to recover one you stop using. Each time I got hooked on nicotine I didn’t continue to smoke or chew because it was so pleasurable. I did it not to go through withdrawal. Anyone who says they do NOT get physical and mental withdrawals is lying. That being said, I couldn’t care less if people want to use nicotine, alcohol, pot, heroin or whatever. I just don’t understand why a person would want to be a slave, an addict, to any drug...legal or not.
