How is nicotine legal? (feddit.uk)

I just got up and took about 7 big huffs on a vape while making a coffee. 2% strength and my vision went, everything went black I started blacking out against the kitchen counter. Had to kneel down and wait for it to pass before standing up to finish my coffee. Fucked it up in a cloud of confusion and drank a warm milk.

How the fuck is nicotine legal?

It needs the public calling for it to be made legal and the rest not bothered if it is made legal before Commons would touch it.

I've emailed my mayor and local MP about legalisation to no avail. Not even replied to as a courtesy. I watched the committee debate on legalisation that I think happened in 2016. It's as if MPs KNOW legalising it makes sense but they don't want to risk outright legalisation because the media will eviscerate them. Peter fucking Hitchens especially who led the charge to re-classify weed from class C to B because weed is "stronger than it was 50yrs ago".

Fucking brain rot in this country will mean legalisation will come in about 50yrs at the earliest.
