I have friends who hated smoking in thier car but now ask me to vape in there cause it makes it smell better...another bonus!!
Ok I like this! No wonder I can work all day and night! LOL Thanks for posting it. bnrk
This has to be in a very controlled environment where smokers are allowed to smoke inside , from my real world experience smokers are usually more concerned with when they can get away from their desk and have their next smoke than focusing on work for long periods of time...
Nicotine use though, I have noticed that now that Im vaping, I have lost the urge to always want my afternoon energy drink, so Im sure it does have an effect. Nice read.

Yes it's quite the truth. Try a detox off nicotine and you'll feel it for yourself. I recently went 0mg for 72 hours and I felt damn near ......ed. I had lack of attention span (severe) and couldn't focus on a thought unless I really concentrated. On the forums, I couldn't put a written piece longer then a couple of sentences together, when normally I would write pages of information on a complex theory, from memory, start to finish, from scratch. I couldn't do basic math in my head, I would always lose track of the starting number and have to backtrack. My sense of humor was dulled and conversationally I was slower and less sharp. I was in a serious fog without nicotine. These symptoms eased slightly by the 72 hour mark (full detox) but I certainly prefer my brain on nicotine. Considering I have smoked since 15 years of age and graduated HS with a 3.78 GPA and a 32 on the ACT, I think nicotine certainly helped me achieve in life.
That little experiment sealed it for me. I intend to remain on nicotine for as long as I can obtain it.

That being the case, would it not be more advantageous to withdraw and let your brain ( for lack of a better word ) heal itself?
Don't want to put a negative slant on vaping as I love it but when dealing with an addiction of any kind it just makes more sense.
@GuyinAZ, I considered it for a little bit, as again, symptoms eased after 72 hours, not normal, but eased. When I decided to go back on nicotine it was because my business isn't really at a place where it can skate through for a month or even a few weeks of me limping along at half capacity. Considering how benign nicotine is to one's system, I figured the benefits of quitting nicotine are not great enough for me to risk it professionally.
In other words... if the benefit is simply posterity (yay I am addiction free!!! ...ok now what?), what's the point? I now know that nicotine addiction (pure nicotine addiction, not *smoking*) is fairly easy to kick. It really was easy, the first 24 hours was a brain game and then after that, eh, walk in the park. It was harder to deny myself that donut then that nicotine juice. So if I ever find myself without in the future, I won't panic, it just is what it is for a time, it won't be the end of the world.
Nicotine makes me sharp as a tack. What's not to like about that?

Yep, nicotine is a stimulant along the lines of caffeine (which I ALSO must have)!
I've read a few reports over the years that have shown that nicotine boosts brain function - and perhaps even energy/stamina levels.

I have OCD and I stumbled on MANY studies that concluded that Nicotine cured OCD symptoms. Dunno about depression though , but I am sure when my SB and Lavatube arrive ,I'll be a happy person lol.
LOL...Ummmm, I knew that. Just checking to see if vapers were really so smart.
Enhances your brain?
I could hardly see any positives outweigh the fact that nicotine is ridiculously heavy.If anything Nicotine has took my brain and made it it's slave.
I'm sure coke user's can recite the alphabet faster...
Although an extreme example, drug's; including nicotine, can give you a slight advantage, but it's the negatives that somtimes outweigh the positives...
Nicotine addiction is something I've grown a huge animosity for, even if I use an e-cig. I'm still an addict (yes) and I never know if I'll be able to fully break the habit; not just subsitute for a "healthier" alternative.
I'm sorry to be a debby downer, but seriously?
That's cool that nicotine can make you a little smarter, but nicotine is also one of THE most addictive substances on the planet.

Apologies for my last post, I don't mean to offend.
I'm just not a fan of addiction, mostly because I'm addicted to nicotine.
It's just an opinion and a chance to vent.

Most likely it is nowhere near as addictive as people think.
Nicotine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The talk about how addictive nicotine is comes from looking at smoking behavior, not vaping behavior.
Electronic cigarettes are the first product that allows you to look at nicotine addiction...
--Without needing to factor in the behavioral components of the act of smoking
--Without the smoke, and all the additives they put in to make it more addictive
There is tons of anecdotal evidence right here on these forums that many people are finding it easy to go to zero nicotine.
SMOKING = Highly addictive
NICOTINE = Maybe not so much
