What's so bad about nicotine? theatlantic.com

I feel this article should have addressed the increased cancer risk of smokeless tabaco products.

I went and looked for myself and it appears the jury is still out on the risks of Zyn, etc

It’s a waste of your time, money, and mental energy with potential negative health effects, that does little to nothing for you except give you something else to worry about instead of the other thing you’d worry about.

To say that nicotine is a waste of time ignores that it is used by many people to regulate emotions. Of course no doctor would have prescribed cigarettes. Now with less cancerous options, I can see it happening. The article simply ignores this.
