Right! Those comments about the health benefits of nicotine remind me of a little episode at my doctor's office.
It relates to the fact that at some dosage level or other, many poisons are medicinal. For gout, my doctor recommended
colchicine; and I gasped, stating that I'd rather not ingest an alkaloid poison. He chuckled as he brought it to
my attention that I was a smoker. Duh.
