I have also heard that nicotine can be good for the brain, and that Sherlock Holmes may have been right when he described a mystery as a three-pipe problem.

i dont remeber where i read an article that say nicotine in brocoli and green plant are high. It mention that vegetarian can have more nicotine in their blood then smoker. If they eat an enormous amount of those. So, as Chris said, it depend on how you absorb it.

As for myself, i continue smoking cigar for now.

<<Romanesco broccoli is an edible flower bud of the species Brassica oleracea. Romanesco has a striking appearance because its form is a natural approximation of a fractal. The inflorescence (the bud) is self-similar in character, with the branched meristems making up a logarithmic spiral. In this sense the bud's form approximates a natural fractal; each bud is composed of a series of smaller buds, all arranged in yet another logarithmic spiral. This self-similar pattern continues at several smaller levels. When compared to a traditional cauliflower, its texture as a vegetable is far more crunchy, and its flavor is not as assertive, being delicate and nutty. Broccoli is an edible plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head is eaten as a vegetable. The word broccoli comes from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means "the flowering crest of a cabbage", and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning "small nail" or "sprout".>>
