Is straight nicotine bad for you?

So, I recall that the combination of caffeine and nicotine is the most effective appetite suppressant. I’m too lazy to look it up. Is straight nicotine actually bad for you? In other words, if you take it orally or go in a patch, is it bad for you?

Does anyone here actually take nicotine for specifically the appetite suppressant benefits?

Any addictive substance will take away from another addiction if it's a stronger addiction.

I don't know what you want to accomplish, but often an addiction to minimize another can lead to a worse situation.

Nicotine is a poison and toxic substance. It will dilate vessels, increase your blood pressure, heart rate, and tax your nervous system. In a high enough dose it will kill you.

Just like anything, the poison is in the dose. Too much caffeine can fuck you up too.

Nicotinoids are currently used for many purposes, most invented by the tobacco industry when smoking cigs was discovered to be so dangerous. There's some serious science out there indicating collapse of honeybee colonies due to their use. That shit is poison, purely and simply. If you take it, you're rolling the dice.
