Kent executives patting themselves on the back for making nicotine no longer the worst thing in a cigarette.

Nicotine never was the worst thing, health wise at least.

Then what is/was?

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 62 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The other chemicals and especially the burn products and tar. The nicotine is just making it crazy addictive

And it's the worst! The others will kill you but nicotine is the hook that drags us and holds us down. While we are dying. It makes us want death. It's the worst.
