OK, in fact, I would tell you start smoking instead of vaping to lower your risk of dying.

But smoking is a terrible idea.

So maybe you could go to pharmaceutical nicotine.

And there is an argument for it.

And people do too much of it.

Well, patches and pouches are different dosing, but one milligram a day.

I did that for five years without any addiction whatsoever.

So one would be the lowest dose you're going to feel.

If they're over 21, I think that there's a case for it.

It also depends.

One of my kids has genetics that mean they're much more likely to be nicotine addicted.

So I'd say don't do it till you're 40.

But as we age, I think there's a good case for it.

And in terms of would I want them to use nicotine, not vaping, but just nicotine like a lozenge or drink, throw away the alcohol and use the nicotine.

Nicotine has benefits, alcohol doesn't.

I would make them turn off the lights at night before they go to bed for an hour or two, get red light bulbs, blackout curtains, and learn how to sleep.

That would probably fix it.

Not at all.

If only.

It's like saying we know how to eat but we're eating Twinkies all day.
