    Nicotine is a potent antidepressant after it’s processed into cotenine in the liver. The times are very depressing, of course antidepressants are popular

      Between this information and “I feel like I’ve been standing my whole life and I just sat down” from The Orville, I’m about ready to trade 10-15 of my remaining years for a nicotine addiction.

        I traded 30. Not worth it. Exercise, proper hydration and a good diet of fish, greens and light grains with the right spices can do just as good without the sledge hammer to the endocrine system (Not to discount the times the sledghammer might be necessary). Learn gardening, and any other skills you might need to alleviate dependence on the faltering infrastructure as a hobby - where there is a will, there is a way. Best wishes on maintaining the will - it’s not always easy
