Is nicotine bad for you?

Question

I recently quit smoking and I am currently using nicotine lozenges, I was just wandering ( although I am aware smoking damaged my body significantly more ) whether these nicotine lozenges or any other form e.g gum, patches e.t.c causes my body harm ?

Yeah, about the insecticide business, you can Google "Black Leaf 40" which is a 40% solution of Nicotine Sulfate, and kills bugs dead.  It's thought to be the reason why tobacco creates nicotine, to ward off predators, and it does a good job of it.

But as far as quitting, I used the nicotine gum to help get over the rough beginning, and couldn't help but feel I was still supporting big tobacco industry somehow!  Anyway I quit 4 years ago, feel better, and am saving a lot of money and hassle.  It absolutely has to be one of the toughest drug habits there is.

nicotine is bad for you..period
the Truth campaign exposed the toxicity behind nicotine a few years ago..
the gum and patches are just away for pharmaceutical interests and tobacco manufacturers to still get money from their former cigarette smoking clients...its all about money...they could care less about your health and well being...sad,but its true...its hard but its fair (because there are explicit warning labels)
nicotine is used as an insecticide!

Nicotine is extremely poisonous. It is used as an insecticide. It is also very addictive, which is why people use patches, lozenges etc. 

Get off it just as soon as you can.
