I don't mean to be glib, it's merely that my understanding of the concerns centered on smoking are a direct result of the by-products of the tobacco itself, not the nicotine. I don't know of any studies that have shown that use of nicotine delivery - be it gum, patch, or inhaler (which category Blu would fall into)- has demonstrated that nicotine, in and of itself is hazardous in relatively small doses.

If I drank liquid nicotine in bottles? Yeh, probably an issue.
You guys sure do love to embrace liability, don't you?
