    On a related note, I also wonder I wonder how many older people self-treated ADHD/ADD with nicotine without realizing what was going on.

      Shit. I didn’t realize that I was doing this to myself until I got diagnosed as an adult about 10 years after I quit smoking.

      Still do. ADHD is still not recognized in lots of places and I certainly do, in form of vape. Tried lowering concentration only to find myself smoking at higher power and more often. Also, energy drinks, I don’t know what they put in them but withdrawal from them feels exactly like quitting smoking.
