Another little angle I picked up casually concerning the "demonization" of nicotine: a few years ago I was in a casino and started chatting with a guy who was a chemist and he mentioned something about working with drugs. Just by way of conversation, I asked, "If you were emperor and could ban any single drug, which would it be?" He instantly said cigarettes.
I said, "Really? Nicotine can't be that bad compared to all these other crazy things, can it?
He said, "Oh, it's not the nicotine at all. It's all the additives. There are like 2500 compounds in a cigarette." Additives, huh?
I would say it's also why no one had heard of this: Project XA
So the picture starts to come together, doesn't it?
