    You seem to argue the following:

    • If you have schizophrenia or ADHD, nicotine might help
    • Smoking is significantly worse than vaping
    • Prescribed drugs carry risks
    • Everything is a tradeoff between health and happiness
    • There are things worse than nicotine, so you shouldn’t worry about nicotine

    I disagree because:

    • Prescription meds or therapy don’t just seem like they help but have been proven to help with mental health
    • Smoking might be worse but that doesn’t change the fact that vaping is still bad
    • Yes, risks, but that’s better than something that’s proven to be harmful.
    • Mental health and physical health are connected. Something like exercise might help with both.
    • It’s irrelevant that there are things that are worse, it’s not a valid reason to start a nicotine addiction.

    If I have misunderstood any of your arguments, please correct me.
