Regardless whether you separate nicotine from the cancer causing tobacco and administer it in a safer way than smoking it is still a terribly addictive drug.
No more addictive than current pharmaceuticals.
Plus, nicotine's addictive properties are over-exagerated because of the quick fix the addicts get from cigarettes.
If nicotine was formulated into an extended-release capsule it wouldn't be that addictive.
That's a valid point. I don't see how nicotine could have much therapeutic benefit considering how quickly tolerance builds to it.
Tolerance doesn't go up indefinitely. Eventually you reach a point where you can stick to a dosage.
Plus if we have drugs like benzodiazapenes and opiates so commonly prescribed despite how quickly tolerance is developed to the drugs, I don't see why nicotine cannot be added to that list as well if it has therapeutic potential.
Smoking for me, was awful when I had no tolerance and it did nothing when I was too tolerance. There were like 2 months where my tolerance was at the right level that cigarettes had a nice effect.
