      That’s the problem. It does not. It shortly relieves a smoker of withdrawal-symptoms. Drinking a bottle of Vodka makes you feel “good”. Smoking some crack or blow does make you feel “good”. Nicotine does basically nothing of value, you just feel great because you’re non-addicted. For a few minutes and then the withdrawal-symptons slowly mount again.

      If a smoker now attributes this to be a BENEFIT of a cigaratte, not the ABSENCE of the opposite, that’s where the problem starts.
