There are cigarettes without nicotine and have been for years. They're pretty helpful in trying to quit. The fact of the matter is, nicotine isn't really bad for you. It's the tar and smoke that kills you. There are some electric cigarettes you can check out, that have no tar, tobacco or smoke. They're Just nicotine and water vapor and are no worse for you than a cup of tea or a glass of soda.Health Question & Answer

If anybody can prove that nicotine is the addictive ingredient in cigarettes, I'll agree with you. But nicotine is used for the same thing that the dl-Citronellol or the Citronella oil is used for when growing the tobacco; to keep insects and mold away.
You probably get addicted because of all the insects and mold you are keeping away from you when you smoke your cigarette.Health Question & Answer

Nicotine is what makes a person addicted to smoking. If there was no nicotine in cigarettes then; people would not take up smoking as they do not like it.

However, if we took the nicotine out of cigarettes then huge company's which sell them would go out of business because no one is purchasing their products. The big companies would "put up a fight".

That is an excellent idea to stop people smoking though.Health Question & Answer

People wouldn't get addicted to cigarette smoking then.

Businesses would crumble and if governments do ban nicotine in cigarettes, more businesses will collapse, resulting in lower tax paid to the government..
