Nicotine It really seems to help me concentrate and focus, not to mention perking me up. I'd like to have a convenient non-smoking way to ingest it in the morning. It is so much better than caffeine. In the evening I can have it in its ideal cigar form, but that's not practical during the work day. I could have a small cigar at lunchtime, but my co-workers can smell smoke on one's clothes. They complain about co-workers who work in parts of the building far from them even if they have to walk by them briefly. That disdain I'd rather skip.  ¶ 23:07
