The LD50 of nicotine is low enough that it would be conceivable to die from the toxic effects, and that's not possible with cannabis, but that's already a risk with nicotine patches, and it's not that large a risk.

Nicotine certainly has some distinctive psychoactive effects. I suppose it's a matter of opinion whether you find them beneficial if you are otherwise healthy.
