Is nicotine only harmful or can it also be beneficial? What is the positive effect of nicotine on the human body? Nicotine and human body.

Remember the ingrained phrase: “A drop of nicotine kills a horse”? More recently, nicotine was perceived only in the context of cigarette smoking and embodied absolute evil. And this is understandable: according to the World Health Organization, about 5 million people die every year in the world from diseases provoked by the consumption of tobacco products. This is a monstrous number.

But science does not stand still. And studies of recent years have opened up new facets of the effects of nicotine on the human body. This allowed not only to separate the concepts of “nicotine” and “the harm of smoking”, but also made nicotine a very promising tool for the treatment of such urgent and irreversible diseases as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
