lmao @ not knowing how LD50 works.. freshman biology bro. We consume dozens of “toxic” substances every single day, as do other animals — these organic compounds generally don’t bioaccumulate beyond extremely brief periods of time (hence why nicotine poisoning, while completely nonlethal and easily treated by drinking some water, is a thing). Calling nicotine toxic for something as large as a human is like complaining that there’s cyanide in apples.
The free market regulates itsel-

>Bull fucking shit. It is neither of those things.
it's both which is why it is used as a pesticide. very small amount of nicotine can kill you a drop on your skin and you are dead. very painful death.

>Do you know what the fuck "weak reinforcing properties" means? It means it's not very addictive.
no it actually does not mean that. there is physical addiction to nicotine it comes very fast and goes away pretty fast causing nausea and general feeling ill, but in itself will not make you seek out nicotine obviously. same for arsenic, just because you are physically dependent on arsenic and they cut your dose even tho you are ill as fuck and dying you don't get the urge to consume arsenic.

agreed bro. Tobacco even without all the additives has so many other psychoactive compounds and by itself is an extremely potent MAOI inhibitor, which is why it pairs so well with alcohol and just about every psychoactive drug known to man.

That's the shitties form of subjective bullshit argument I've seen this month and you should be ashamed. That's akin to the "you can drown on a spoonfull of water reasoning". You should be ashamed.

I'm done with the thread. I made my first comment before I went to sleep and I awoke 8 hours later with an inundation of ignorance and stupidity. I've barely gotten through my first cup of coffee. People, READ THE LITERATURE on nicotine. Then READ THE LITERATURE regarding the inhibition of MAO activity by compounds present in tobacco smoke. The latter is the cause of the hyper-addictiveness of tobacco. Don't believe the lies about nicotine itself. This is industry shills trying to deny direct responsibility by putting it all off on "nicotine". "B-but nicotine is addictive, I-it's not the hundreds of other addtives we put in the cigarettes. P-please don't sue us"
You fucking shill ignorant bastards need to neck yourselves immediately.
And for the rest in the know, keep trucking. And for the people who beat this shit I fucking SALUTE YOU.
I'm out
