I'll stick to Malachi, anyway...Doesn't nicotine just give you a head spin? How could that possibly help? Of course, if you're already addicted then perhaps, sure, I can see it might quieten your nerves to be able to concentrate. I suppose it's easy to roll our eyes at people who have 'unacceptable' addictions, when really, things like caffiene and sugar are probably just as bad, except they're socially acceptable!
