I'm in a profession where there is a lot of medical and psychological research done everyday. While doing a research paper on the effects of Nicotine I ran across a lot of info stating the beneficial aspects of the drug. I didn't realize that it was such and amazing chemical!
I suffer from ADHD. The meds for ADHD will help me focus, but they also come with some nasty side effects. First, you hyper focus and don't want anyone to bother you while you are on task. Also, irritability, anger, agitation and general anxiety are all raised in most people that take stimulant medications. But Nicotine has been proven to work as good, if not better, than the stimulant medications with completely different effects.
Nicotine will help stimulate the frontal lobe of the brain and at the same time lower anxiety, irritability and anger issues! Nicotine actually makes one more social by lowering the common causes of social phobia. Have you ever went out to smoke a cig so that you would get jacked up? NO! You go out to relax and chill... maybe talk to some other smokers while you enjoy your nicotine fix.
Nicotine treats/helps a bunch of psychological problems, but the big tobacco/pharmaceutical Co. don't want people to see the information.
Depression: Yup, it helps with depression as well. I know first hand how it works on depression, because it thrust me out of a black hole that I couldn't seem to make my way out of. After getting a divorce I spiraled int a very deep depression. I even had thoughts that I would end it all. I fought with eating right, exercise, and thinking positively. I tried the pills (which all seemed to shrink my boy down to a wet noodle) and finally gave up on believing anything would help. I knew that caffeine could help in the short term, but had nasty side effects when it wore off. I used that as a crutch while looking for other alt means to end the pain. I had no reason to feel bad, just had a chemical issue that wasn't healing on its own. Note: ADHD side effect can be mild to major depression.. its a deficiency of stimulation in the frontal lobe, which just so happens to be a cause of depression. Anyway, I wasn't going to take the pills, nor the ADHD meds, and caffeine wasn't consistent enough to help day to day with the depression.
Then I remembered my research about nicotine and ADHD, Depression and other metal healthy related issues. BINGO! I went to the store and bought myself some patches and started my new Nicotine therapy. MY DEPRESSION ENDED WITHIN 6 HOURS OF TREATMENT! I'm going to type that again...It is important... My depression lifted like a fog within 6 hours of having the patch on. Later I decided that I wanted to have more or less in me depending on the situation and switched to the Blu.. then the Tornado. I've been happy ever sense.
I still fight with regret about my divorce, but when things get too hard to think about nicotine seems to wash the pain away where I can think more clearly. It really is an amazing drug... IF YOU HAVE A SAFE WAY TO GET IT INTO YOUR SYSTEM. Thanks to e-cigs.... I have that new safe way.

Oh hell yeah!! I posted similar sentiments in the "why do you vape" thread.
