The real reason nicotine is controlled: it makes you smarter

https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...arter-excerpt/
“To my knowledge, nicotine is the most reliable cognitive enhancer that we currently have, bizarrely,” said Jennifer Rusted, professor of experimental psychology at Sussex University in Britain when we spoke. “The cognitive-enhancing effects of nicotine in a normal population are more robust than you get with any other agent. With Provigil, for instance, the evidence for cognitive benefits is nowhere near as strong as it is for nicotine.”

“We’ve demonstrated that you can get an effect from nicotine on prospective memory,” Rusted said. “It’s a small effect, maybe a 15 percent improvement.
Govt has spent decades trying to make us dumber. Removing critical thinking from education, legalizing weed, fluoride in the water, etc. Of course they want to stop people from using something that makes you 15% smarter.

To be honest back in the day when I used to smoke, there were some pretty high intellect conversations in the smoking circle

OP in onto something

Smoking also raises your test levels.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

From what I’ve read this is actually a myth

It lowers collagen levels which makes you age quicker and lose your glow but it doesn’t raise test levels

It’s still high test/badass though (unless you’re ugly ofc )
