Nicotine is not the killer. Doesn't cause cancer. It's the junk in the smoke.
Yep! It's medicinal and prevents Covid.
Tobacco is the best remedy for stopping the pain from a bee or wasp sting.
Pesticides, herbicides and additives. I am fond of cigars but the only cigar maker that only uses organic tobacco is Valencia. Quite pricey but worth the avoidance of all the tru poisons.

Sure, vitamin C can also kill with high dose. I'm not a fan of banning anything, free market that shit!! But I've only seen intense addiction from nicotine use, nothing in between.
Did you know “water poisoning” is a real thing and people die every year of it? It’s also referred to as water intoxication and water toxicity.
The LD50 for Tylenol is 4000mg for the average adult, and caffeine is actually incredibly lethal, at 150-200mg per KG, and in some cases in the 50mg per KG range.
People have died from too much oxygen, water, heat and cold. What are we talking about team?
Life is a killer, sadly. I work in chemicals, stuff I handle has a very low LD50. In general, nicotine can kill just like anything else.
Yes. OSHA has an MSDS(Material Data Safety Sheet) for H2O.

Seems legit.
