Great article! I do NOT want to give up nicotine; I only want to not smoke.
Amen! And you don't even have to be self-medicating to want exactly what you do. If people don't begrudge other people employing caffiene to stay awake so they can continue to be productive or avoid falling asleep at the wheel, why should be begrudge other people using nicotine to stay alert or overcome fatigue--expecially if how they get their nicotine has no effect on the health of others?
