Sally Nicotine is a Neuro-Transmitter. Not Neuro Protective.
Transmitters are what send the signals in our brain back and forth to synapses, and also send signals to other parts of our bodies.
I guess that's why you are so smart. Nicotine helps transmit the nerve impulses across a synapse Snap, snap! Sally's must be thinking.
I hated to quit smoking because of the one positive advantage it had.
Some chew nicotine gum for 5 or so years. I know my big boss and other head honchos did, when smoking was not allowed indoors. They had to set an example. What they did on their free time, I don't know.
Even the caffeine in coffee and tea are neuro transmitters.
