re: #168 Belafon

Nicotine is separate and distinct from smoking. Smoking itself affects the lungs. Nicotine can be ingested or absorbed through the skin.

So, if you’re on a patch, you might have some benefit from nicotine, but if you’re smoking 2 packs a day, you’re fooked. /not a doctor, but trying to suss out the logic behind those seemingly contradictory results.
