Yeah, seems like a moral panic to me. If we smoked coffee, it’d probably be carcinogenic, that doesn’t mean that consuming it otherwise is an “epidemic.”

actually, nicotine and caffeine are completely different, there is no comparison in terms of health risk profiles of each.
Pure nicotine in the doses people take it is pretty safe. I really don’t think it is any worse than caffeine.
Could you please share a link to research that supports this claim?
They are completely different, but saying there is no comparison is disingenuous.
