Nicotine Substitute???

[Vicks Vap-oh-Yeah]

I posted this elsewhere as a reply, but I thought it warranted the attention of it's own thread. Slap me up if I'm wrong:

CALLING ALL CHEMISTS!!!8-o
It's the nicotine the FDA is worried about - not the delivery device. That's what classifies the ejuice as a poison. Is there another naturally occuring (LEGAL) substance that can be liquified and vaporized/inhaled which mimics the effects of nicotine inhalation in the human body? If we can find a <safe> inhalation to substitue for the nicotine, would that then free us from the onus which is bearing down?

If the FDA bans the usage of nicotine-based e-juice, I, for one, plan to go to the 0 nic, and, if need be, use the patches or gum to get my nic "hit." Then I can still vape legally...

I have wondered that too. Perhaps a metabolite if there is one. But even if such a chemical existed, it would likely be equally difficult to obtain and become subject to scrutiny and ban.

Good thing about the Lobelia Inflata plant is it's wild all over a huge chunk of North America....

Look: PLANTS Profile for Lobelia inflata (Indian-tobacco) | USDA PLANTS

Now its just a matter of getting a way to extracting the seeds in a manner that can be vaped.
