I heard alcohol does, what about nicotine? Not that I care too much, just curious.

does nicotine kill the brain cells?

Every bit of research I've gone through says nicotene "can" kill brain cells (specifically in the hippocampus, region associated with memory), but not "does" kill brain cells. I'm not sure its concrete, otherwise the FDA would be all over it IMO.
If that was true and I'm not saying it is, but then my doctor who has been smoking for 50 years should be as dumb as a brick, and i got surgery tomorrow. lol
Keep vaping
Keep vaping
Some things that can kill brain cells:
Eating junk food
avoiding exercise
drinking too much water
food additives
certain types of cosmetics
household cleaners
smoking

There was a post somewhere on here about the study done that found that nicotine actually helps stimulate memory..
I know that carbon monoxide does.
'waves' hey seabrook whats up?
Hey Untamed, just recovering from the 4th of July, LOL. And you?
Yeah but I forgot where it is
Actually, if you google the words "benefits of nicotine", you'll come up with tons of hits.
um, so...
The receptors that bind nicotine are distributed throughout the brain- including areas involved in learning and memory, vision, movement, thought, emotion, dreaming, and pleasure. They're there to respond to acetylcholine (the endogenous transmitter), but are by activated by nicotine as well. The blood plasma levels of nicotine in smokers (and probably vapers) aren't high enough to kill the cells that have the receptors. There are changes in the subtypes of the receptors to compensate, but not cell death. In specific experimental circumstances (cells in a dish), nicotine has been reported to be neuroprotective.

As a former Expert Brain Cell Assassin, I can safely say, in mass quanties, probably. Anything I used to use in my arsenal of night time killing sprees was a lot more deadly to those poor unsuspecting cow-eyed brain cells. Plus, they were socially acceptable and legal and FDA approved!
