What's the point of it, is it to help give up smoking? How harmful is nicotine on its own? Could it be used for weight loss? Think I'd rather be addicted to nicotine than food if the effects of nicotine were less than that of depression + being overweight. Any ideas?

Its meant to be an alternative to smoking, aimed at people that would be affected by the smoking ban. So for example you could drink it in a pub, instead of lighting up.

So do you feel it is a positive move away from smoking?
Yes, but only because it will stop people breathing in second hand smoke. From a smokers point of view, they also won't stink of fags. :smile:

Surely the nicotine still affects your nervous system in the form of a drink as it does in a cigarette?
