    Funny how most studies are done on smoking, not nicotine, yet they use those studies to deface nicotine. They are not one in the same.

      Completely agree - it’s comparing 500 chemicals in a cig with 1 compound. Plus oral and smoked are not the same

      You probably go around on social media just commenting on random posts without listening or reading. Just to babble. You obviously didn’t even listen. Nearly all the tests were with nicotine not cigarettes. This childish responses are so annoying and it’s usually a male like you.

      @MrLcbrownjr You might want to brush up on your reading comprehension. I was referring to the majority of published studies done regarding nicotine. Most of them were about tobacco products not isolated nicotine. Search Pubmed for nicotine studies and you'll find the majority refer to tobacco. Also, in this video she's referring to tobacco usage for most of the studies she presents, which is why she says "smokers" so many times during the video.

    for the last 3 months I have been using a 1 mg nicotine spray (maybe 15 times per day, with a day off per week) to help my aging brain (56 yo) in my Tech. job, it seems to help with my memory and productivity. I was never a smoker, interestingly my visual acuity seems to have improved as well.

    I watched your you tube, and heard about the strange health benefits of nicotine, and I just wanted to add, nicotine has helped me with my seizure disorder by slowing down the production of electrons in my brain, to many', and it causes, an "explosion" of them and that's what would cause the seizure. This to me, is another true health benefit of nicotine. As surprising as it may be, nicotine slows down the production of electrons.

      Not my experience. I’ve seen both. Like any population you will find both smokers and non-smokers. Met a ton of stupid smokers, too.

    I don't think that all of the effects introduced here are generated by the nicotine. Taking into account where smoking rates are the highest (no/low/middle income, LMIC) it's no surprise that these people have higher stress levels.
    If these effects would depend only on the nicotine, we could replace cigarettes with non-combustible nicotine products. But we know that it's not so easy. The patch or the gum don't have the same effect as a cigarette. Even vapor devices don't always work as a substitute for smoking.
    Why is that? What's responsible for this?

      There was an interesting paragraph about the chemicals in smoked cigerettes having some desireable effect in schizophrenics. Its in the neuroscience book “Brain & Behaviour” by Garrett and Hogh
      “One of the most documented symptoms of schizophrenia is the inability to suppress environmental sounds. With sensory gating impaired, the intrusion of non-attended stimuli such as traffic noise or a distant conversation is not just annoying but can be interpreted by the person with schizophrenia as threatening. Impaired sensory gating can be a useful diagnostic tool for schizophrenia. Most people will “gate out” the second of two clicks presented a half-second apart, indicated by a reduction in the P50 EEG wave, but individuals with schizophrenia typically have an abnormal P50 wave (Figure 14.11). This deficit is also associated with reduced synchrony across wide areas of the brain (M. H. Hall, Taylor, Salisbury, & Levy, 2010). Atypical antipsychotics improve gating, but nicotine normalizes it (Adler et al., 2004; Kumari & Postma, 2005). The smoking rate declined in the United States from 42% in 1965 to about 15% in 2015 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015b), but the rate remained about 80% among people with schizophrenia (Keltner & Grant, 2006), in an apparent attempt at self-medication. Besides sensory gating, nicotine improves several negative symptoms, including impaired visual tracking of moving objects, working memory, and other cognitive abilities (Sacco, Bannon, & George, 2004; Sacco et al., 2005; Tregellas, Tanabe, Martin, & Freedman, 2005).”
      “Earlier, we saw that nicotine provides some relief from symptoms of schizophrenia. Nonnicotine ingredients in tobacco smoke also have been found to act as monoamine oxidase inhibitors. This would explain why smoking is so frequent among those with depression and why they have difficulty giving up smoking (J. S. Fowler et al., 1996; Khalil, Davies, & Catagnoli, 2006). We mention a therapeutic effect of smoking for the second time only to illustrate again how people may self-medicate without being aware they are doing it and why some people have so much trouble quitting; if it sounds as though the benefits of smoking outweigh the cost to the smoker’s health, reread the section on nicotine in Chapter 5. Figure 14.18 is a dramatic demonstration of the extensive effect of smoking on monoamine oxidase inhibitor levels throughout the body.”
