When I was doing research into this (for literally the reasons OP mentioned, Dr wouldn't rx stimulants cus I smoke weed ๐Ÿ™„),.in the grand scheme of things nicotine is about as harmful as caffeine. It's not a good thing to put in your body, it is habit forming (nicotine itself doesn't quite hit addictiction levels, it's the whole package in commercial cigarettes (iirc)), but at the end of the day, ehhhh? The real issue was consumption, I ended up mixing my own ejuice from scratch using as well vetted ingredients as I could, but at the end of the day your putting shit in the your lungs and that isn't great.

I am really interested in studies around Zyn and the like, but also I'm sure they have their own pile of garbage plus the nicotine.
