Made me think of this post from last summer: https://open.substack.com/pub/hwfo/p/real-talk-about-nicotine

In another article (https://open.substack.com/pub/hwfo/p/things-jordan-petersons-rehab-taught) he mentions how vaping helped him keep it together while his wife was dealing with terminal colon cancer.

Not sure if he still does or not.

Good take. Honestly, the argument for nicotine lozanges/patches just keeps getting better. So far I've got:

- localize a source of anxiety ("have I taken my nicotine today?")

- general nootropic

- trick yourself into getting addicted to something else ("I only use my nicotine gum when I run, etc")
