Well it is mood altering just not to the extent that it affects safe practice. I mean I never smoked just cause it tasted good. Many hospitals are now declining to hire people who use nicotine so aside from the health risks it's just not worth it

It's not considered a mood altering agent. It's not something you can do and get hired at some places for other reasons.

Well I beg to differ but it is mood altering. It's only legal because it's been around since the dawn of time. For some it directly effects the dopamine receptors in the brain..

According to the Alcohol and drug foundation: "Nicotine is a stimulant drug that speeds up the messages travelling between the brain and body. It is the main psychoactive ingredient in tobacco products."

For people who smoke tobacco products regularly, they will build up a tolerance to the immediate short-term effects of smoking tobacco, and may experience the following effects after smoking: mild stimulation, increase in heart rate, increased ability to concentrate, relaxation.

Use of nicotine through smoking may eventually cause the following types of chronic disease and issues: such as stroke, blindness, cataracts (eye diseases), birth defects if the fetus is exposed to cigarettes, periodontitis (yellowing teeth, gum disease), aortic aneurism (enlarging of major blood vessels), coronary heart disease, pneumonia, various respiratory diseases (shortness of breath, asthma, coughing fits, diabetes, reduced fertility, ectopic pregnancy (in the fallopian tube), hip fractures, male sexual dysfunction, rheumatoid arthritis, reduced immune function (regular colds and flu), overall diminished health (ageing, back pain, slower healing wounds, mood swings).

The long term effects of vaping nicotine are poorly understood at this time, but studies are on-going and no one can deny the addictive properties of nicotine.

Many employer and not just medical ones are starting to exclude people who use tobacco products due to the fact that (According to health insurance carrier) They (users or tobacco product) have more missed work days due to illness than non tobacco users. one of my past employers had a 20% addition to health insurance.

But you are right. It's not mood altering the way alcohol, marijuana or illicit substances are. It doesn't make it a non mood altering.

I did not get this of Wikipedia - but I will not continue to argue the point with someone who is not interested in truth.
