Hear me out before assuming the my point just based on the title.
Nicotine as you know is a poison but has benefits as well...in some cases directly towards performance enhancing (in my opinion it is not a drug). It is a alkaloid found in plants such as peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and most common tobacco as a protection from animals/insects that specifically eat a plant based diet. As for medical purposes that are all based on ending dependency there is little effort in the medical community in my opinion to give the public a nicotine based enhancer, for even in small does can greatly improve cognition, alertness, and focus and I'm a gamer and often play for prizes and awards in competitions and believe it or not many gamers have ways to improve their skills due to how interactive a video game can be, in my experience cannabis and opiates are excellent for controlling muscle memory and noticing details but also have sedating effects that can/will make you fail or make errors and gaming isn't as far as this goes, episodic memory boost, driving, making conscience decisions, working memory boost, mood boost, etc.
Heres my question. If there was a transdermal patch with pure nicotine (in small amounts) unprocessed without synthetic properties added and other unneeded mixtures, could it be marketable? (I know its probably impossible) could it replace the need of tobacco products used as a "stress reliever" turned into a desire to enhance one's functions that can last longer and are cheaper, without having to seek products that just don't work, cause severe health issues, or are illegal?
*There is no grounded evidence that nicotine is a carcinogen but through smoking can cause cancer risks, but using a patch (nicotine replacement methods) the risks are greatly lowered*
