Now nicotine is not the thing that gives you cancer. Nicotine is the thing -- it's addictive but it also increases mental acuity but they're taking that out. According to the Wall Street Journal, the agency will also ban Juul e-cigarettes. Now what happens when you get off nicotine? Well, your testosterone levels plummet and you gain weight, both of which the administration is for because you become more passive and easier to control.
