In reply to Nicotine blocks stress induced BDNF drop, posted by linkadge on July 30, 2008, at 21:59:03
I rely on nicotine but I can't tell you why. It is not the addiction to it. It is something else. I can't put my finger on it or describe it in words.
I get more benefit in terms of energy and mood boost from the gum than I do smoke. I think the carbon monoxide and other stuff in smoke kind of counteracts the good parts of nicotine. Whether it is BDNF or whatever, I have no idea. I just instinctively know it is "something".
