of carcinogens ie dangerous. Nicotine is addictive but it’s hard to say if it’s dangerous by itself. There is some data suggesting that it is a cocarcinogen, or tumor promoter, but no evidence to suggest it by itself is a true carcinogen. There are some benefits in moderation too. The danger is with the addiction AND intaking nicotine from sources that are carcinogenic.
