The Pros And Cons Of Nicotine
Hello, Grace! Since nicotine is the number one preventable cause of death in the United States, I have found that nicotine is a very addictive and poisonous drug. As I contemplated and reflected on your discussion post, I concur and comply with your point of view regarding nicotine. Like any other drug, nicotine has its pros and cons. Martin (2016) explains that nicotine is produced by plants to redirect predators and others use nicotine for a pesticide for this same reason. Arguably, I can see how nicotine can be beneficial, but it’s difficult for me to agree that it is healthy. It is interesting to note that another source found that nicotine can improve cognitive development. In fact, I can notate how small doses are nicotine could be harmless
considering the clinical studies in which you have found on how nicotine can be used because moderation is the key. However, it concerns nicotine produced on its own can be less addictive, but a small amount of pure nicotine can be fatal to a child. Although there are at least 443,000 Americans that die each year due to tobacco related illnesses, these deaths were related to tobacco related illnesses, including different types of cancers (McNeece & DiNitto, 2012). What do you think?
