I was under the impression nicotine was on a similar risk profile to caffeine. Are you referring to the tobacco plant in general?

Nicotine in pretty much any amount is cardiotoxic, caffeine (in moderate amounts) is pretty much neutral afaik. They both may or may not be carcinogens depending on the study. Thats pretty much it I think

this is my impression as well regarding nicotine. however, i have noticed people are not interested in examining that and continue to conflate nicotine with cigarettes (high risk) and vaping (misconstrued risk).

i also believe many view a nicotine addiction through a sort of moral lens they don't apply so readily to caffeine.
