I don&#x27;t doubt the cognitive boost or the safety of nicotine outside of cigarette smoking... But I was definitely hoping for a more quantitative analysis of the benefits.<p>Also a lot of this is anecdotal. I know many people (myself included) who are addicted to nicorette gum. They wean themselves off smoking and onto gum. Nicotine is still addictive.<p>I&#x27;m still looking for the &quot;natural Adderall&quot;. Maybe socially accepted is the better term. Amphetamines are hard (read: impossible) to beat... Especially if you spent a long time taking them in high doses daily.<p>Anyway I really hope we get more research in this space. Coffee only does so much.
