    I was under the impression nicotine was on a similar risk profile to caffeine. Are you referring to the tobacco plant in general?

      this is my impression as well regarding nicotine. however, i have noticed people are not interested in examining that and continue to conflate nicotine with cigarettes (high risk) and vaping (misconstrued risk).

      i also believe many view a nicotine addiction through a sort of moral lens they don’t apply so readily to caffeine.
