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.

So what due diligence has been done by the distributors of this product to offer assurances that it is pure nicotine or is not harmful either now, or down the road? That is the root of my concern.
I know the FDA is a fuck up from the get go. They allow Glucose/Fructose corn syrup in packaged foods that is 99 per cent probably the reason for the huge diabetes epidemic we are in the middle of and a whole lot of other crap. However, they do test a lot of stuff to keep producers sort of kind of honest. Has this product been through any kind of FDA approval process?
Again, it is just a concern I have over any kind of unproven anything that goes on or in to our bodies.
Yeah I drink. Yes I drive a car. I am not a major health nazi. Just concerned that the internet has opened a whole industry of world wide snake oil.
