Health Bill [HL]

Yes, but it is not the nicotine that kills. Nicotine does not cause lung cancer. It may be addictive, but it is not the nicotine that is the problem. It is the materials in the smoke, as I understand it from the medical profession, that cause the problems with lung cancer and other respiratory diseases.
