Since the FDA deeming regulations, the nicotine page has been updated to portray nicotine as a highly addictive drug, which is NOT accurate. Multiple studies have shown that absent other compounds found in tobacco, nicotine has weak reinforcing properties, which has lead nicotine replacement therapies such as gum and patches to go from prescription drugs to over-the-counter status in the past decade.

Much of the information about the harm nicotine causes is, in fact, about smoking, which is a totally different issue.
