Smoking is... good?

I am not big fan of idea that nicotine cures all diseases, but not many people know that nicotine was used as natural remedy against aphids in garden. Maybe nicotine kills some germs/parasites in our body, and that's why people feels better.

A hair analysis test reveals that my 12 year old daughter is highly reactive to nicotine, so for her it would cause all kinds of problems, certainly not a cure all.

I'm not specialist in nicotine, but I read that nicotine in high dosage could be toxic. In small dosage could be healthy (in some cases). I don't think small children need nicotine anyway (they usually don't have health problems like adults or old people). But maybe your daughter is allergic to commercial cigarettes. Many additional substances that are added to commercial cigarettes, increases nicotine reactivity (or acts as allergens itself). When I was young, I don't liked cigarettes (I don't need them), but I noticed that different brands of cigarettes smells different (smoke). When I was young I had very good smell. Nowadays I know, is not because different tobacco brands, but additional substances can change smell of smoke.

She doesn’t smoke, or have any other contact than may be some second hand smoke and aroma from me, I smoke additive free RYO (used to be organic RYO until the Australian govt. banned it past July ) so she doesn’t come in contact with any of the chemicals from ready made cigs.

I’m sure that one day she’ll experiment with smoking or vaping like most kids do even though she knows that nicotine is in her no-no list. I hope she will tell me so I can watch out for any reactions that she might miss or underestimate.
