so it’s the nicotine and not the heat from the smoke…… but the smoke can cause fire in the heart, not the nicotine right….. i know nicotine accelerates the heart though…… can too much fire in the heart actually cause it to shut down?

what causes the expansion of consciousness in the headspace that i associate with smoking?

thanks for making that clear, i guess i knew the heart part intuitively but not the liver part…..
