Nicotine does cause blood vessels to constrict. For many that might not make much of a difference. For someone with vascular disease it may place them at an increased risk of developing complications. There are other people with a severe sensitivity to nicotine which results in restricted blood flow and frequently loss of limbs with any nicotine exposure, smoking or NRT of any sort. They are also typically extremely addicted, unable to stop nicotine use in any form, even in the face of amputation, which most folks would probably like to avoid (it's called thromboangeitis obliterans). So while nicotine itself may safely be used by many people it's not without risk. Plain fact. Then again, nothing is risk free, and each person must decide for themselves.

Seems to point toward Smoking rather than Nicotine Consumption.

Please note, Early age Smoking as well as other individual makeup may lead to the eventual condition.
This in no way indicts Nicotine in any different light than someone allergic to Shrimp.

So, does everybody feel a difference with vaping vrs when smoking cigarettes? Like do you feel any different? Since I quit , and have told people I don't smoke cigarettes anymore they say well your still getting nicotine. I try explaining to them that nicotine isn't going to nessacarilly kill you unless you drink a bottle of juice or get a lot on your skin. Then they say oh well nicotine causes heart attacks, strokes. Even though i believe it doesn't and it is the mixture of all of the other things in cigarettes. What is everybody's opinion on this and what do you think? The real question is , do you think nicotine causes helath affects long term from a vape? FYI I'm on 3 mg of nic
I vape 0 nic up to around 2-3mg nic-- depending on my mood. anytime someone 'educates' me on nic,, I tell them that there are die-hard vegetarians consuming more nic than me. --------that tends to shut them up,, then I tell them I would rather take my chances because the benefits of nic are higher as I don't want my latter years spent drooling in a nursing home because I had Parkinson, dementia, alzheimers or other brain issues.

I also like to explain the niacin-nicotinic acid-palegra story...
