Any study about nicotine should be taken with an extra grain of salt. There is always a chance something is financed by the tobacco industry.

I think it's dangerous to portray nicotine as a cognitive enhancer. Even when that portrayal includes extensive reports on the side effects.

Also, this makes no sense being in HN.
