      Yeah, nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. Smaller blood vessels = higher blood pressure and higher risk of heart attacks and stroke.

        I’ve been using the nicotine pouches and there’s only addiction warning labels on them. But the whole time I’m thinking, I’m pretty certain nicotine isn’t good for the heart…

    recall drama when they banned smoking in elevators. should be banned in public spaces. smoked when younger. now it just stinks. even outdoors. read big tobacco is diversifying into foods that are addictive.
