        It’s the nicotine that makes them loyal customers. Cigarette companies could very well do without the lead, tar, cadmium, arsenic, and radiation.

          Nah, they add a bunch of shit to enhance the addictive properties of nicotine. Nicotine on its own is about as addicting (and harmful) as caffeine.

          The delivery system has a lot to do with it too. There’s a reason vaping is so much more effective at quitting smoking than nicotine patches/gum/lozenges.
