If you really want to know, the search bar is your friend. You'll find more good discussion in a bunch of threads than in just the one thread you do today. Many knee-jerk reactions who warn you against it mostly based on experience with cigarettes, along with plenty of reasoned arguments, testimonials and links to studies are in the various comments. TLDR- it's a good purge for temporary infections and poisons including covid and covid vax. Some use it as a prophylactic against the same ailments, but less consensus about that.

Well I tried to warn of the addiction based on lots of experience. But on the other hand I did not have a covid vax and I have never had covid. Actually for my entire life I have only had the flu twice so for 68 years thats pretty good. I dont know if it has anything to do with nicotine though.
Always room for debate and observations in good faith. It's just that a lot of people don't get past the "nicotine by itself without cigarettes" distinction before commenting, and those are the ones I was referring to as knee-jerk, especially because that distinction is an important part of the nicotine-as-medicine advice.
The fact that many people here know (or are, like yourself) long-time smokers who are more healthy than average non-smokers should give everybody pause to reflect on generally accepted medical "truths."
The food pyramid has been so extremely wrong for so long people take it for granted that it's a lie. Even knowing this, many continue to believe that margarine is healthier than butter, fluoride is good for you, chemotherapy is a helpful tool, and eggs and salt are bad despite all evidence to the contrary.
