> Nicotine is harmful for your mind more than your body. Every time the need to smoke appears...

Right but you don't need smoke for nicotine - that's the point.

Nicotine is still harmful, but it isn't as lethal as smoke.

And more critically - smoke is dangerous to people around you, while nicotine is just your problem alone. If we can get people off smoke but still on nicotine, that's better for everyone.
