Retitle page to "Effects of nicotine on human brain development"

[edit]

The vast majority of the text on this page refers to the effect of nicotine on the brain, regardless of source — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnOyston (talkcontribs) 01:33, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense to me; I'll do it. -- Beland (talk) 19:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Section on Comparison of risks and benefits of vaping

[edit]

That section is irrelevant to the topic under discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnOyston (talkcontribs) 01:34, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dietary sources

[edit]

QuackGuru removed this paragraph as off-topic:

Nicotine is present in certain human foods, especially plants from the family Solanaceae (such as potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant).[1] Levels of nicotine around 180 ng/g dry material are present in tomatoes and eggplant. [2] Black teas, including regular and decaffeinated brands, have nicotine contents ranging from non-detectable to > 100 ng/g wet weight. Instant teas yield the highest nicotine contents (up to 285 ng/g wet weight).[3]

@JohnOyston: Do you know if the effects of dietary nicotine upon human brain development have been studied? Does eaten nicotine end up in the bloodstream like inhaled does? It would be on-topic to compare the risk from dietary to the risk of inhaled, and also to compare the quantity of exposure. -- Beland (talk) 22:06, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
