There's been a few studies about the benefits nicotine can have for dopamine related conditions like ADHD and Parkinson's. Do you think there's a possibility that the benefits of just nicotine (not tobacco) could outweigh the negatives for these kinds of conditions? How do the costs and benefits of nicotine compare to costs and benefits of drugs like adderall and L-Dopa?
