Obviously it doesn't destroy all vitamin C in your body or else, all smokers would have full blown scurvey, which they don't.

Nicotine promotes angiogenesis which would result in improved blood flow. What evidence is there that nicotine results in dead bone? There are plenty of health problems associated with smoking, but none of these can be directly linked to nicotine, since the administration of nicotine alone has not really been studied long term, in humans.
