Nicotine health benefits

[Pamdane]

Can we please start a list of links to studies which shows a positive correlation between nicotine and health benefits?

I think a few positive references in the health and safety area should be a must

Maybe we can get people more interested in vaping if they know what good things can come, without the negatives of what tagged along with smoking!

Thanks.

If you vape nicotine w/o smoking your lungs consume no tar, no particulates, and thousands less chemicals.
vaping reduces air pollution and second hand smoke.
COPD causes 1/3 USA deaths.
80-90% COPD caused by smoking.
Good chance vaping nicotine reduces COPD risks.
Sounds good to me.
Sorry ALA doesn't see it that way.

Some of these are older, some concern smoking, but I have to wonder if the research results would improve if nicotine inhalation were the center of the study.

I'm no Doc Brown, but I know it's a decent pain killer for us working class.

Here's an interest one - http://ezinearticles.com/?Nicotine---Are-We-Ignoring-Its-Health-Benefits?&id=291157

And this possibly too much information Madam Fathom: Got nicotine?

I'm reading from multiple sources that it's not nicotine that kills, but the other things in a burning cig, not that I encourage nic use. My 75 year old dad smoked his whole life, mind is still sharp as nails.

FWIW Rush was talking about nic benefits on his show and mentioned he likes his PV.

Rush had a little "episode" in a restaurant once with his Volcano, according to him.

Yep, for me too, especially in terms of fundamental nerve pain I have from nerve damage from a nerve illness I had a number of years ago (Guillain-Barre Syndrome). Also either helps with concentration, or else alleviates the withdrawals that kill concentration...or both. There are also studies that show it helps reverse the effects of Alzheimers. Makes my brain smart and happy!

In relation to that, it also alleviates symptoms of Crohn's disease. Smoking too much, OTOH, can make Crohn's worse. Another example of nic helping the gut, but smoking negating that to a good extent.

Sorry to hear that. I quit analogs after 25+ years smoking. After 2 years nicotine free, I had all the symptoms of IBD.... (I won't mention them here......lol). Took all the scans, colonoscopies, genetic testing, etc. Yep, had IBD and never knew it. The smoking must have kept it in remission ever since I was a teen. After a year of trying every doctor's remedy there was... taking 6 pills a day ..... enemas.... etc. I saw an episode of House MD where he threw this guy a pack of cigarettes to help with his IBD.... Sure, I laughed for awhile and then went to the 'nets to look it up.

Next day, I started smoking analogs again. Within a week, all symptoms were gone!!!!! Never had another reoccurrence. Switched to vaping hoping it is the nic and not any of the other chemicals in tobacco blends that I need.

Will know in a year or so if I'm successful.
