One of my favorite comments regarding the "Puritans," or as we call them here, the ANTZ (in response to a poster who spoke about an addiction being an addiction which certainly wasn't healthy):
"We need to wean these people off their addiction to self-righteous bigotry. I suggest that essence of self-righteousness, without all the associated hazardous mental attitudes, be encapsulated in a little electronic device. People can then come on and announce how, after years of harmful addiction to self-righteousness, they switched to being an e-bigot and are no longer harming themselves or anyone else."

Would love for someone to counter the argument that it's nicotine that causes "vascular disease" resulting in the amputation of legs, etc...

Nicotine is indeed a vasoconstrictor, that is, it has the effect of increasing your blood pressure.
Similarly to caffeine. I've done a load of research myself and while I will readily agree that nicotine is bad for people who already have vascular or heart problems, I've never run into any reasonable arguments about it being the cause of them.

There was research somewhere that showed that nicotine does increase blood pressure but that was only up to a few minutes after ingestion... no long term effects as long as you were not getting smoke (carbon monoxide, etc.).... Can't seem to find it. Otherwise, I would respond to the above comment. The tide has turned (as expected) 
from the evils of tobacco in the comments section of this article to the "evils of nicotine." The slanderous comments need a rebuke!!

Great article. Thanks for posting it.
Some of the comments display a staggering degree of ignorance. Mind boggling.
