This is a topic that we get a lot of questions about, not only from our audience, but also from my patients. In this episode, we discuss the distinction between nicotine and tobacco, understanding why nicotine itself is not the primary driver of the major health risks associated with smoking.

We discuss the risks of nicotine use, including addiction, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular effects, and its impact on mood and anxiety. We talk about the various delivery methods of nicotine, from traditional cigarettes, which I think everybody would agree are bad, to pouches, gums, and synthetic options, ranking them from least to most harmful.

the role of nicotine in physical performance, cognitive enhancement, fertility, and its interaction with other stimulants such as caffeine. We touch on the guidance for those interested in minimizing the risks while still using nicotine. And we end this podcast by looking at smoking cessation and considerations for those trying to quit smoking, which often involves using nicotine replacements.

You know, I'm actually drinking it in a glass.

Nick, I have made several changes following the AMA on microplastics. I believe that they are all in the spirit of 80-20. So I'm really low on the sigmoidal curve of cost and energy with one exception. And yeah, I think I'm just taking what I think are the relatively easy steps to hopefully mitigate 80% of my exposure.

And I'm going to spend no more time worrying about the last 20%, which A, I have no idea if it matters. And even if it does, I don't think I could live my life and be concerned with it.

I am looking forward to the day when someone else hosts an AMA for me.
